A review by alenka
Animal Crackers by Gene Luen Yang

5.0

Ohmygosh I ADORED this collection! These are Yang's earliest comics and it's easy to see why he's become such a popular author. The stories are a perfect mix of sci fi and realism, and Yang's protagonists are delightful and fun to follow. This was possibly unintentional, but the stories start out very lighthearted and by the end of the third/final tale things get serious in a very interesting way. Yang is asking questions about what strength means and about what morality can possibly be when it is conceived by humans with flawed perspectives. So great, if you've read Yang's other stuff you've got to read this!
