The Complete Phonogram by Jamie McKelvie, Kieron Gillen
4.0
In the world of Phonogram music is a kind of magic and power that shape who people are and their world. It takes the idea that a song can change your life, the love, passion and transformational potential of those moments, and spins it into something marvelous.
With all that said I didn't love reading this collection. It took a couple of attempts to get into the rhythm of the story, and even then I found I had to go backwards and forward to weave the narratives together. There was a lack of coherence and details that was a barrier to me really connecting.
Still there was something in Phonogram that had immediate appeal. It's a story I want to be drawn into, something in it calls to the reader. I suspect a further reading will offering me a richer experience.
