Book Review - Zombie Makeout Club Vol 1: Death Wish by Peter Richardson

Zombie Makeout Club Vol 1: DeathWish (Zombie Makeout Club, 1)

Zombie Makeout Club Vol 1: DeathWish by Peter Richardson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Synopsis: A rebellious high school student is brought back to life in a strange underground facility after committing suicide. Now, she must piece together not only how and why she has been resurrected, but also confront the fragmented memories of her past and the horrors of the laboratory that want to send her back to the afterlife. This breakneck story illustrates a violent vision of life after death.

My Thoughts: I liked this but actually haven't got a clue how to explain it. I know that doesn't make much sense but it's the best I can do. I mean I feel like I had an idea of what was going on most of the time but then the story would get a bit off kilter like we were supposedly experiencing flashbacks of the girls life before her suicide but the transitioning confused me.

It's gory and is about suicide and rebirth (zombies per say). I love zombies and have just gotten into graphic novels/manga and am totally enjoying it so this was the best of both worlds for me! Even though I am a bit confused I would love to continue on with this and see what happens. 

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing this copy for my honest opinion.

Book Review - Uzumaki by Junji Ito

Uzumaki

Uzumaki by Junji Ito
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Synopsis: Spirals... this town is contaminated with spirals...

Kurouzu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or being but by a pattern: uzumaki, the spiral — the hypnotic secret shape of the world. This bizarre masterpiece of horror manga is now available in a single volume. Fall into a whirlpool of terror!


My Thoughts: My first manga experience and I so enjoyed it! The artwork was super and I could read this over and over and not get bored of gazing at the images.

While rated horror it wasn't scary for me but I enjoyed reading as each chapter introduces us with more ways the spirals come to be and how they scared and began taking over the town climaxing into so many oddities that I couldn't bring myself to put the book down.

I wasn't really satisfied with the ending....I wanted more but still in its own way everything was wrapped up.
