A review by camilalobianco
The Spy Who Raised Me by Ted Anderson
4.0
85% ★★★★☆
I was requested to do this review by NetGalley and I'm so happy that this book was my first experience!
Plot
Jossie is a daughter of a spy that was trained to be the perfect spy (but, well, she kinda don't know this). In her last trip to France, that she thinks that was just a job trip, she starts to notice some gaps on her memory and she will do everything on her power to discover why this is happening and to get of this mess and become was she wants to be.
Execution
Great! That was such a fun read. I have to admit that this was nothing I expected and actually so much better. Something that you have to have in mind before start this read is that is not supposed to be serious or mature, it's purpose is being funny and not really logical. It actually might be a metaphor to controlling parents or something like this. I was expecting to be a cute and nice read and it was.
Characters
I like her best friend. Just know that Josie is not suppose to be a mature and developed character. She is supposed to be fun. The comic is a couple of crazy ideas and you better not expect character development, since is just a short story about a "spy machine".
Art
I'm not an art expert, but I really like this art style. The only thing I have to say is that some of the pages of my copy were darker then the pallet, but I think it was just a personal problem.
