Because life is so brief and uncertain, we should make the most of every opportunity to do so. The friends, family, and foes we've had throughout our lives have significantly impacted our experiences and the things we remember about our lives. The book Sonora Pass, by Jaime Olmos and illustrated by Kevin Nichols, is about friendship.

Olmos and Nichols masterfully blend elements of friendship, love, and intrigue, creating a narrative tapestry that resonates long after the final page. The gradual unfolding of events kept me eagerly turning pages, while the stunning graphics added depth to the storytelling.

First of all the book art was astounding
It had the 90's vibe
definitely you can read about most human characteristics such as
failure , wishes ,dreams , treachery , problems,
Success and all issues that as human maybe one day you face on
For me honestly it was entertaining story 💗
Thank you and good luck

It's action-packed plot, humorous tone, and colorful cast of characters, "Sonora Pass" promises to be an engaging and entertaining murder mystery that will keep readers guessing until the very end. As Jonah navigates the twists and turns of the investigation, readers are treated to a nostalgic journey through the 1970s music scene and the hidden depths of the human psyche.

Thanks for a free copy. I will agree friendship is what keeps most of us going. I look forward to learning more from the book in the story of friends featured in it. I guess it's worth it. Congrats!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting graphic novel mystery following the death of a band member, Celia. Afterwards, an issue occurs that allegedly Cumpukore Company stole software from Candix Company. Jonathan, a former band member, must investigate the theft and the primary suspect is Esteban, another band member and primary suspect in Celia's murder. Will Jonathan solve both mysteries, the murder and the theft? It might be worth a second look. Well done.

The book sounds interesting and intriguing. It seems to be a "unique blend of love, crime, and mystery". I like a good mystery and here I seem to get even two riddles: one of a theft and another one of a murder. Besides this is my first graphic novel, so it will be really exciting to read it. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

well i commend the official reviewer of this book as such that i agree that we must make use of every opportunity presented unto us, and we should value and learn from every relationship and situations. but the review is a bit vague and did not express the real (moral) lessons of the book. thumbs up anyways :)

I really love the graphics contained in the book, the photos are a blend on purpose. Most comic books are full of humour with conventional messages to convey not to mention the crime and suspense in Sonora Pass

The graphic novel, “Sonora Pass" by Jaime Olmos, has received a five out of five star rating from the thorough reviewer!
It is paramount to mention that the illustrations are absolutely outstanding! Artist Kevin Nichols deserves a lot of credit for his excellent work.
The story is full of interesting twists and the hero, Jonah, has a lot of challenges as the pages turn. There is a meeting of the former bandmates of their band, Jabberwocky and a lot of talk of the friends that were in and following the band. This book is very enjoyable.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
