I had no idea this was based on a game (sorry), just thought it was the Walking Dead universe and I was here for Tillie Walden. Without other fandom loyalties to hold me down, I did enjoy this book. It’s short so I didn’t expect to get to fully know every character and what drives them, so I was fine with the brief snapshots. Other than that, some of the panels were confusing to follow for me.

The Brewer's Tale: A History of the World According to Beer

William Bostwick

4.0

informative slow-paced

Loved the parallels of past to present, but at times the pretentious, almost bro-y tone turned me off. But, I went in expecting that so it was still very enjoyable and informative.
