[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "2020, The Year We Were All Cancelled!" by Stella Perrett.]
The year 2020 has been a stressful one for all of us. The unexpected happened and no one was ready for it. 2020, The Year We Were All Cancelled! by Stella Perrett recounts the events of 2020 in a more fun and engaging way, using cartoons and images. If you would like a reminder of what happened in 2020, then this is the book to read. There’s everything from the UK’s first lockdown to the election in America, and much more.
Stella Perrett is a political cartoonist for a national daily newspaper. Unfortunately, one of her illustrations didn’t sit well with the readers, and as a result, Perrett faced a great deal of backlash and hate. Perrett outlines some of the other things political cartoonists faced for their work.
This was a very interesting read; it’s different from what I usually read. The book contains illustrations, photographs, and snippets from news articles. It is presented in a simple format that is eye-catching and easily readable. I think Perrett has put the right amount of information on each page; if there was any more, it would be overwhelming. I honestly enjoyed flipping through the pages on my iPad. At only 69 pages, this was a quick read. This book can be finished in one sitting, or it can be enjoyed slowly.
The book focuses primarily on events that occurred in the UK, but it does mention briefly events that occurred in other countries as well. I appreciate that Perrett put trigger warnings throughout the book to warn readers that certain pages might be offensive. It’s really sad reading about the hate she and others got for their work because everyone should be allowed to express their opinions.
The only thing I didn’t like is that some of the illustrations were unclear. As a result, I was unable to read the text that was in the illustrations; it was a bit disappointing because I was looking forward to reading it.
Overall, I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because I had fun reading it and I enjoyed reading something different. I found no mistakes, so it was professionally edited. For those of you who are interested in becoming a political cartoonist or you are one, this book would be appealing to you. I also recommend this book to anyone who likes reading about politics. Since some of the topics are sensitive, the book is not appropriate to a young audience.
