Book Review: White Death


Book: White Death by Robbie Morrison with illustrations by Charlie Adlard

Source: Borrowed from Publisher/NetGalley for an honest review

Publication: Available now

Description:

In 1916, Pietro Aquasanta, an Italian rifleman, returns to his childhood home of the Trentino mountain range to find that it's no longer the realm of wonder and adventure he remembers, but has become a place of death and despair, where the elements are as great a threat as the enemy. No weapon of war was more feared than the White Death, thundering avalanches deliberately caused by cannon fire which consumed everything in their path.


Rating: 1 star (Did Not Finish)

Review:

I just could not finish reading this, it's a very dull and boring war story set during World War I. After nearly reading this I realized that not everything should be adapted to comic books. Perhaps this story would have more of an emotional impact or would be more interesting if it was not in comic book form. Because it was very choppy and the artwork was too sketchy to really grasp what was going on.

So to make things short, this was not a good read for me.
