3.0
informative medium-paced

 
There is lots of great information in this book. It’s put in a graphic novel format that is easy for most people to read and understand. However, I do not find it as successful as its companion, books. The reason being is that this information is being given to the reader by a snail. And there are little stories in between each chapter that are about some type of “being” wanting to be different. I understand the purpose of the mini stories between the chapters but it’s the snail. Sometimes the snail does let human characters take over talking about certain subjects, but for the most part, it’s a snail. Maybe this is done to reach a younger audience. Who knows it’s just such a weird way to present this book as compared to its companion books. Overall while the information is good, the way it’s presented makes this a book I will not be putting in our collection.
