Official Review: Child of the Sun Complete Edition

Post by **Seamstress** » 10 Jan 2020, 09:24

The premise sounds quite interesting, but unfortunately I am not all that into comics and graphic novels. Blame my origins and age)) But since this book is free for today, I guess I will make exception from rule, because I really like legends and myths.

It sounds like an interesting read. As someone who grew up reading underground comics in the 1970s (my father didn't keep a very close eye on his collection of them) and who later enjoyed Heavy Metal, I don't find nudity in graphic novels bothersome. The sexism, on the other hand, might get under my skin, but I do know the Samson and Delilah story. Thank you for your insightful review.

A gripping story with a poetic, archaic writing style and beautiful illustrations. Based on your review, it sounds a must-read for fans of comic books! Unfortunately, as it is not my genre, I will pass on this one. Thank you for the detailed review!

This sounds like a clever take on the Bible story of Samson & Delilah. I’m sure lovers of graphic novels will appreciate this one!

I can read a good comic book but the subject being a mix of mythology and the Bible (as far as I can tell) I don't think this book is for me. Your review clearly shows your knowledge in the matter though!

The Samson Delilah story gives us a lesson that not all that glitters is gold. Definitely grabbing myself a copy

I'm not into graphic novels or biblical topics, for that matter. But I enjoyed reading your review. It's always a pleasure to share the enthusiasm that a great read brings. And I find interesting the mix of old gods with biblical subjects.
Thank you!

I am definitely a fan of this kind of story. I love having all those ancient stories and characters woven together. From looking at graphic novels and comics before, I feel like they can be a little confusing, but it may be my inexperience at reading them. Sounds overall like a fascinating read!

This review is very interesting and I am intrigued by this book. I'm not usually into reading graphic novels. However, the story of Samsen has always interested me. I might give this one a try out of curiosity.

The story of Samson and Delilah is a house hold classic that mesmerizes even the young bookworm. It will be interesting to see how the author manages to spin a web abound the original bible version of Samson. The author also throws in Hercules and ancient Greek gods. This definitely is a must read. Thanks for the amazing review.

I don’t know about this book, so I’m going to pass. Thanks for the review.

This graphic novel reimagins how Samson married his first wife, Adriana. It's not a usual story, as many might say that Delilah was Samson's only wife. It's not for me because I don't read realigious books.

I always loved the story of Samson from my kindergarten days. I guess this book will show me an imaginative angle to the story.

The book cover is very interesting and intriguing and I cannot wait to get my hands on this book and find out the love story of Samson with another woman besides Delilah! Congrats!

It sounds like a biblical story, but at the same time, it sounds like a story about Greek gods. I find it kind of confusing so I will pass. However, thanks for a well-written review. Congratulations BOTD.
