The Flintstones Vol. 1 by Mark Russell

5.0

Wow, this was a riot!! I've heard that this volume of the FLINTSTONES had some satirical commentary and I never could have imagined having this much fun. I was quoting some lines out loud. Not a big overall plot, each one is it's own story that adds a little to what their world is like. The art in the book is nice, Mark Russell adds additional background to the characters, and oooh gosh the visual gags in the backgrounds are silly. Seems like there was a lot of care making this feel like an updated Flintstones.

While watching the Flintstones as a kid, I never even once thought about why Dino is a pet and all other dinosaurs/mammals are appliances? They made some time to address this too and I thought it was very interesting.

I certainly had fun with this, I can see how this book might not be for everyone. I would certainly recommend to YA and adult readers, defiantly not for juniors. ~Ashley
