Love Me Please!: The Story of Janis Joplin by Nicolas Finet
3.0
The art was well done and I really enjoyed learning more about Janis Joplin. However, the story and the writing was very disjointed, jumpy, and stilted. I truly wish I could give this a higher star rating, but I lost the trail of the timeline and people several times.
My favorite illustrations were the images of Janis and/or other musicians singing with their lyrics lettered into the image. Beautifully done and conveys the passion of those musicians and songwriters.
Overall, this is a nice quick read and a well illustrated graphic novel to learn a bit about Janis Joplin's life, her desire to make it as an artist and musician, her fame, her vices, and her death.
My gratitude to Papercutz, NBM Publishing, and Netgalley for an ARC of this book, in exchange for my review.
