Review:

 I loved the way the writer has presented the story. Also it was absolutely amazing to witness the unconditional love and  bonding Robbie shares with his mother. Illustrator Jey Odin has done a fabulous job in bringing the story to life with the mastery of his art. As far as the character construction is concerned it is good. Though I was looking for a bit more twist in the plot.

Overall, it was a fascinating experience going through the work. I give this work 4.5 stars for the storyline, illustration and overall presentation.

Happy Reading
