Lifetime Passes
by Terry Blas, Claudia Aguirre
Before I start, I'd like to say that the images/artwork were very well executed, but the quality of the PDF was rather poor. It was hard to see the details, and the black and white aspect of the ARC didn't help.
I felt like the story was rushed, that you had to rush to get to the end and as a result I had a very hard time getting interested in the story.
As for one particular aspect of the story: the park pass, and the fact that this group of friends spends entire days there I found it almost impossible to believe and very little depth on the why and how. After the announcement that the pass is coming to an end, the group comes up with a ploy to get guaranteed access for life in the hope that an elderly person will die on the spot. I was expecting some dark humor, a dark story, why not an act of repentance or even better, characters who feel no remorse. In the end, none of that, in my opinion we even forget very quickly the initial goal of the group.
A group including two atrociously detestable and rather caricatural characters, but that the author makes them explicitly say their motivations rather than letting them show us by their actions.
Overall, I agree with another person : "it feels like all the potential of the story has been wasted, the story contains no surprises, no plot twist."
