'Official Review: The Dark Side of Food' by Harleen and Andrew presents an entertaining account of the comic story. It focusses on the distinguishing features of the book. The book tells the story of a billionaire, Baldr Johannsen, who investigates Aurora Borealis and makes discoveries to save humanity. The authors take situations that we face daily and turns them into a story. They assist the reader in leading a healthier life and educate them and educate them on the various systems in the human body.

It highlights topics deeply relevant to modern society, such as the influence of social media, addiction, and the dangers of diet products. We live in a time where processed foods and aggressive marketing contribute to large-scale public health problems. I personally find it interesting how the novel uses a seemingly light narrative to address serious issues that affect millions of people every day.

I'm not one that reads comics but I must admit the storyline sounds interesting. To cover important subjects that affects us daily, eg: drug abuse, social media, wrong diets etc is great. Also the fact they the authors give means to help is commendable. Thanks for a great review. Congrats on BOTD and thanks for the free book.

This book offers a clever and engaging blend of science fiction and social commentary. The way the authors address relevant issues like social media influence, harmful diet trends, and addiction within the context of a comic novel is both thought-provoking and entertaining. Nice review.

This is my first time to encounter this book. While reading the review, I learned that this book narrates about social issues including the bad side/negative side of following some social influencers. Nowadays, everyone is already becoming "social media influencers" or bloggers. This book is giving us a fictional story about how people are being affected by the advancement of technology. I wanted to purchase this book and read more about it. Hands up to the authors.

A lovely review, thank you.
I like that this encapsulating science fiction piece dealing with what we realistically face in daily situations that can be rather life-threatening is expressed as a comic novel.
Harleen and Andrew clearly have the perfect dose in crafting such a captivating story that leaves the reader hungry for more!
I do appreciate that although the contents deal with the risks of diets, addiction-induced violence, and so forth, the book does provide the reader with information that educates them about leading a healthier life in the end.
Congratulations on BOTD!
