Book Reviews of Peter the Pirate Squid

Book Review: "a wast of five bucks" ZERO STARS
Summary: 1 Stars

Heard about this coming out a few months ago. checked up on the writer and artist...not so bad art I found, mostly computer generated, generally cool looking stuff....As the above mentioned review, the story is weak...in severe need of an editor, and too it must be mentioned, this ain't meant for kids!!! (one of mine loves pirate stories, thought this would fit the bill, but the eluded to sex rules it out)

The art for the story was in need, in a bad way, for an art director and a better layout artist, the text infringes on the images in an amateurish manner and has a few outright mistakes, lines carrying over wrong, etc...Really guys, Quark is not that hard to use (or inDesign, what ever you are using). My mind may be spoiled from having just read NC Wyeth's bio, but the design of the pics suffers from the "how much can I put in there" school of thought. Computer rendered greyscale images, all much too busy and not enough variation in the tones to make any image pop, or any object in the image be read easily, as good book illustration should be done (look at David Christiana, Lizbeth Zwerger, David Shannon, all superior).

From what I had seen about these two on the web (their own sites, etc.) My expectations were much higher.

Am I being overly picky? Maybe, but as a book collector and an Graphic Designer / Artist, this book really is a wast of five bucks, and an assault to better design / illustration sense.

Being harsh? Maybe, but when one puts a product out there in the public, one should go the extra mile to make sure it is good, this could have been good, but it suffers from all the aforementioned problems.


if your still interested it is as of now available used for significantly less than new, get it there.
