KINDLE UNLIMITED (Isaiah, Ava and C.I.)

1summerread

 

In 2018, community sites took turns covering a book every week.  You can see "In 2018, we read books" to review that coverage.  We didn't want to repeat ourselves in 2019 or 2020.  So when Marcia came up with a way to cover books but with a twist, we were all for it.  Marcia's idea was for us to digital books -- we're largely a printed text crowd -- and to use AMAZON's KINDLE UNLIMITED.  So for 2021, we'll be trying to do a book a week and trying to just use KINDLE UNLIMITED. This week, we're speaking with Isaiah about his "BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN."


So you went with a comic book or a graphic novel for this review and there were problems viewing it?


Isaiah: Yes, I could see the page as a page on my laptop screen; however, half the time when I tried to enlarge a panel, it wouldn't work.  It was frustrating.


And the comic book itself?


Isaiah: I was impressed with the graphics, the drawing, the shading, the use of color that Tim Ssle created.  The narrative by Jeph Loeb involved a lot of characters but he kept it straight and easy to follow.  Among the additional characters?  Catwoman, Joker, Harvey Dent, Commissioner Gordon and Barbara Gordon.  


So you would recommend it?


Isaiah: Yes, I would.  It's not really a 'Halloween'' story, it uses that holiday and others throughout the storyline.  


Due to the problems you had with getting illustrations to enlarge, would you recommend any other comic books or graphic novels?


Isaiah: No, I would advise people to consider each time that the enlargement option may or may not work.  And, at this point, if graphic novels or comics are what you'd be getting KINDLE UNLIMITED for, I would say it's not worth it.
