Review:

Clocking at at least 400 pages, this baby is quite thick and just by looking at it, it seems a little bit daunting.

But I tell you now, Sparks: An Urban Fairytale is one the greatest and character driven graphic novel I have ever read!

Eventhough the premise is quite simple (out of fish girl accidentally creates/brought a robot to life - robot falls in love with creator), the book is really NOT just about that. Actually, its just a back drop of one of the more complicated growing-up stories you will ever read.

Sparks: An Urban Fairytale book lets you feel the whole shebang of emotions - anger, laughter, irritation, sadness, etc.

Honestly, I thought the book would be boring (the first chapter i think i got bored coz the plot was sort of a cliche) but after i get passed the first chapter, man, i was not able to put the book down (eventhough i still did coz my baby was crying). The tone of the book drastically changed for me. It was like watching people's lives (with very real problems) unfold before my eyes.

This book is simply AMAZING. Go buy it NOW!!!
