Looks awesome, can't wait to read it.About 8 years agohappypug12's book review was featured in Bandette Volume 1: Presto!.
I don't usually review comics, but this one definitely took my expectations for comics to a whole new level. Beautifully illustrated and set in a modern time France, we meet our heroine swiftly, Bandette! Presto! A absolutely love her wit, her grace, and of course, her knockout spray, secret hideout (with the code to enter posted courteously on a sticky note right outside the hideout), her not-all-that-secret passion for chocolate bars, her dramatic yellow cape, and of course, her puppy, Pimento! Very inspiring (and hilarious) for teen girls (but don't worry, boys'll love it too). Usually I have a thing against perfect heroes, but Bandette pulled it off and stole the show (literally). Definitely going to be reading this series! The only thing I would mention is that there is a tiny bit of bad language, but other than that it was presto! :)About 8 years agohappypug12 added a book review.

why in the world would u want computers to replace humans? as if u would get any advantage............ and besides....if u were replaced by a robot...u would not enjoy anything right? who knows...there could be major problems.i do not think that is a good idea at allAbout 8 years agohappypug12liked a comment in The Martian.
Incredible! Absolutely incredible! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I've read the book and seen the movie. Matt Damon did an amazing job as Mark Watney. As he said "It's space. It doesn't cooperate." The suspense was awesome, and the portrayal of the station and of Mars was so accurate, even being the nerd I am, I couldn't find a single flaw. Good job, Damon. Good job.About 8 years agohappypug12 has read this book.

This book, all in all, was a nice book. I didn't find it super unique, but it delivered. My main problems for this book was, firstly, a huge lack of descriptions on characters, both main and unimportant ones. There wasn't ANY description whatsoever for our big man of the hour, Evan Quick, THE MAIN CHARACTER. Nothing. So I just have to use my imagination as to what Evan really looks like. Next, the plot DRAGS. Some of the material could use some chopping. This is a superhero book, yes, but I didn't expect the plot to be THAT predictable and corny. Half the book I couldn't wrap my mind around and wasn't described well enough, so I had no clue what was happening. I did find some parts interesting, but honestly, I don't think Mr. McCullough did a good job in making the unrealistic seem real. The book ended without me feeling satisfied, instead, I felt as if this needs a sequel to finish it off. All in all, it was alright, but I'm not really sure who I would recommend this to.About 8 years agohappypug12 added a book review.
