A review by faegirl
Mandela and the General by Oriol Malet, John Carlin
4.0
I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoy that people have been using graphic novels to tell history since a lot of these stories lend themselves well to the idea of action, adventure, and heroic people. This one was really well done about a difficult topic, the election of Mandela. I would suggest this to someone who has no idea about the history of the ANC, apartheid, or Mandela, but if you are interested you should definitely delve deeper into the story.
I enjoyed the minimalist style and colorations that were used for this book. With such an important story, using this simple style helps keep the attention on the story rather than the design of the art.
