Rating: 4/5 stars
So I have just finished reading "Kidz Vol.1" and the first thing about this book is it is quite an amazing work done by author Aurelien ducoudray. I loved the setting of the novel, the writing style and presentation.
The story is set on a dystopian land where the population has turned into zombies due to the effect of a terrible epidemic happened three months back. Now those hungry zombies are looking for fresh meat to devour. Our story revolves around 10 years old Ben who has also lost his parents in this epidemic but he still hopes to survive. He along with a few of his friends makes a team who hunts zombies and try to survive amidst the zombie apocalypse.
Will he be able to survive and protect his team?
Will he be able to get everyone out from this dystopian land?
To get the answers you have to go through this work. So what are you waiting for? Pre-order now.
My Take:
The first thing I loved about this work is the setting and storyline, which instantly engages the readers and makes them curious to know the end. Though many works have been previously done on zombie apocalypse, but this one is a bit different, chiefly because Aurelien has tried to present it from the perspective of a child. It is the children's battle for survival what is very interesting to read.
As far as the writing style is concerned, there is no denying the fact that Ducoudray is a master storyteller and in this work too he has once again proved it. Illustrator Jocelyn Joret has done an equally fantastic job in making the story alive. The use of colours to set the atmosphere is absolutely brilliant. Also they way he has tried to connect the outside world with the inside agony of the child is truly commendable.
Overall, it was a fascinating experience. I give this work 4 stars and recommend it to all the graphic novel lovers.
Happy Reading
