Saints

Genre: YA graphic novel
Pages: 170
Published: 2013
Read: April
3 out of 5
I had a
hard time rating this book. There were some parts that I didn’t really
understand, so I can’t say I loved or even really liked the book. However, I
love the artwork and how it fit the story so well. I also have to give the
author a great deal of credit for writing about such a controversial issue,
religion, in a main stream YA book. I love his honest, but blunt approach on
the subject with a touch of humor. For these reasons and the fact that I found
it easier to follow than American Born
Chinese I feel it deserves at least 3 stars. When I choose to read it, I
thought that Boxers and Saints were companion novels so I read Saints (which is actually supposed to be
read second) first. I may eventually read Boxers, but I am not making it a
priority.
