Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Original Fake
In this Banksy-inspired illustrated novel, an escalating sibling rivalry train wrecks and vengeance is a street-art act of warIntrovert Frankie Neumann hates his life, and understandably so. He’s got a weird, tutu-wearing sister, Lou, and even weirder parents, Bridget and Brett—Frank Sinatra and Dr. Frank-N-Furter impersonators, respectively. And, he’s just the guy who makes pizza at Pizza Vendetta. Though he has secret artistic aspirations of his own, his over-the-top family makes him want to stay in the background. But Frankie's life is about to change—becoming way more interesting, even a little dangerous, but definitely cool.
After his shift at the pizzeria one night, Frankie meets David and Rory, cousins and errand runners for the mysterious Uncle Epic, a legendary anonymous street artist and Frankie’s absolute idol. Little could Frankie dream that his new adventures with Uncle Epic would lead to the perfect opportunity to strike back at his insufferable sister for a lifetime of torture. But things go haywire quicker than you can say “street art kicks righteous ass,” and the lines are suddenly blurred between art and Frankie’s real life.

This one was pretty fun! I had fun reading it, and I thought that the main character had a really interesting character arc. The relationship between the siblings was something I hadn't seen much of before, especially since it was a pretty strained one that got explored--it wasn't just a, "I've got a dick brother" and that's that. Also, this takes place in Minnesota, and as a North Dakotan, stuff that takes place in Minnesota is pretty much the closest thing I ever get to stuff that takes placeI recognize that this wasn't perfect, far from it actually. But the 5-star rating I had to give because it was what I needed at that time. I'd come down into a rut with reading, so I needed something light and didn't require my brain cells to work that much. This delivered, and as a bonus, brought art, which is always welcome.
"Epic is making penises, and we're covering them with fake money that has Andy Warhol in a feather boa on them. Then what?"Welcome to the world of street art!Our protagonist Frankie is a fan. He thinks that it's a meaningful tool to show the world how toxic it is (he's not really wrong) and wants to become a famous (street) artist himself. He just needs to find the right idea and some self confidence, because at the beginning of the story, his trademark art is pretty much adding monsters to old
Actual rating: 3.5 starsI picked this book up at a book fair, not knowing anything about it. What attracted me to it was that it was a novel/graphic novel hybrid which Ive never seen before. The story itself was an easy read - nothing groundbreaking, but definitely enjoyable. Characters were pretty two dimensional, especially Lou and Rory who seem to have minimal reasons for their shitty actions. For some reason the characters reminded me of the TV show Daria, probably because Lou and Rory were
A lot of YA books are preachy, insipid, and annoying. Not this one. Reading this reminded me of Judy Blume, that YA author from the 70's who wrote socially realistic books about kids, and didn't pull any punches. I wonder which school district will try to ban it first.
I don't know how he found out about it or chose this, but Paul brought this home to read for himself and then passed it on to me. I loved this. So original and an unusual subject for a YA novel. I wouldn't call it part graphic novel, but there are illustrations and a few full pages of drawn content. This was a fast read and hard to put down (which is just what I needed as I've been ever so slowly reading two books for the past 3 weeks and ought to give up on them already even though I'm 3/4 of
Im thinking I just wasnt the right audience for this read, but Im happy to have gotten through it. Im also not going to lie, I definitely judged a book by the cover with this one. I had to renew my library card, and I just quickly picked a book up to bring up to the counter with me. This one happened to have pictures / comics throughout it, so I thought nothing could go wrong. Maybe its because the characters were in high school and I didnt feel any sympathy for them, or maybe it was because the
