Transreality by Chris Lackey
3.0
I won this book in one of the giveaways, so I think it's only fair I review it.
I entered the giveaway because the plot sounded interesting. By the time it arrived in the post I'd forgotten it was a graphic novel, but I wasn't disappointed.
The story was great, and I was glad to find it wasn't overly complicated, like some scifi stories are. The biggest drawback was the artwork. The fact that everything was drawn as simplified realistism, really distracted me. Even though the characters were easily recognisable, I had trouble empathizing with them, as the style seemed too plain.
I feel bad for being so picky, but when reading comics and graphic novels, the artwork is what draws me in.
I will say, however, that anyone who wants a good story about reality and simulated reality would be smart to read this, because the story is quite good.
