A review by saidtheraina
Saints by Gene Luen Yang
3.0
Maybe I'm misinterpreting the intent of this book. Considering how much attention and promotion it's received (much of which I've read), that seems odd. I've read most (maybe all) of Yang's published work, and seen him speak. I dig him, as a creator of stories.
But I get the impression that a duo-work like this (and Boxers) was created to portray both sides of the story. The story of the Boxer rebellion. And it kinda does.
But why does Boxers get to be almost double the length of Saints?
I left the experience of reading both volumes in quick succession feeling deflated. And not particularly enlightened. And just a little bit misled.
