Missile Mouse: Book 1 by Jake Parker
4.0
Jake's Review: Mom I give this 20 out of 10. It is AWESOME, are there any more like this. I'm going to read this instead of watching tv tonight -- OK? Lets go to the Library tomorrow and see it there are any more -- Mom, why are you grinning (Moms note: finally have someone in the family that I may be able to convince to go to a convention) . I really liked this novel. The pictures are exciting and funny and made me want to keep reading. Lots of cool pictures of things blowing up - but not in a scary way. I liked the way the guy drew the aliens. Missile mouse kinda reminds me of that character you like -- the old guy -- Han Solo. (old guy -- come on he aint that old) I liked that Missile mouse was always saying funny stuff like "If by better circumstances you mean me locking you up in solitary confinement, then I'm game". Some of the pictures were really drawn funny too like on page 127. The bad guys were kinda cool and said funny stuff too.
Rating: 20/10
Mom's Review: As I said before, any book that Jake doesn't want to put down, pretty much guarantees me giving it a good review. I am also a geek, so I highly recommend graphic novels in general, I think they are fantastic especially for reluctant readers. This one is an excellent introduction to the world of graphic novels for the younger set. Lots of humour and action, but nothing too violent or offensive. The artwork is simple but not too juvenile and the story line fast paced. Jake was right on with his comment about Han Solo, Missile Mouse is always making some smart alecky quip to the bad guys. I would say that Missile mouse is like a cross between Han Solo and Mighty Mouse.
