Review by Lunastella -- Winners and Losers in words and ...

[María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda]

I like that the book comprises of graphic representations and symbolism. Thanks for this excellent review.

Thank you so much for your kind words!

This book seems quite interesting and informative. I will consider reading this someday. Thanks for your wonderful review.

It is very thought provoking. Thank you!

Success might be one of the things our society overestimates. I have seen situations where not being successful can lead one into depression. I do hope this book can change the narrative as we move on. Thanks for the insightful review!

I totally agree. I think we should encourage young ones (and ourselves) to look for a more rounded life experience focused on wellbeing, not only on success.
Thank you!

I'm not a graphic tales fanatic, but I find the concept in the story interesting. It's so unfortunate that women were being portrayed in the story as using their physical nature for success. I appreciate your thorough review. Good job.

I used to dislike graphic novels until I met Arthur Hartz's work. Trust me, it's worth the read, even with the subtle misogyny.
Thank you for your comment!

This has caught my curiosity. I am a devout Christian and conservative BUT it is generally difficult to offend me. Some graphic comics are rather disgusting so this might be a change for me. I will give it a try. Great review!

I don't think the book is meant to be offensive. Even the cartoon about the Bible passage isn't especially disrespectful, in my opinion. I hope you enjoy it!

"a graphic novel that combines drawings, aphorisms, quotes, and commentaries to make us laugh but most of all, make us think if we should continue with our success-obsessed society." Sounds quite interesting and I think he has hit the nail on the head because it's true that our societies are obsessed with success that we tend to overlook other important things.

I totally agree. For me, wellbeing and overall happiness are more fulfilling than so-called success.
Thank you!

I really enjoyed this book when I read it, too. Great review!

Thanks for stopping by!

What an intriguing concept. This sounds like a fun and humorous way to deal with such issues. I do agree with you though that often portraying women as using their appearance for success seems a bit... cliche, actually. An interesting book nonetheless. I'll consider picking it up sometimes. Thanks for the review!

It is a stereotype that I don't think we should perpetuate. But, overall, it is a splendid book. Thank you for your insight!

While philosophy, politics and deep thinking are not my forte, I do enjoy humor - even at society. I'm therefore quite on the fence with this one. Great review as always!

It's a funny one, but this one's even funnier and less philosophical: viewtopic.php?f=97&t=154366
Thanks for stopping by, dear!

I'm not American but I do familiar with American cultures (thanks to the movies and American literatures). I do enjoy witty humours. Its been so long since I read one.

Then this might be an ideal pick for you. Hope you enjoy it!

[María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda]

I'm not a fan of graphic novels, but after reading this insightful review, I'm convinced that this is an interesting book. Thanks for the review.

I didn't like graphic novels until I read the work of this author. I hope you give it a try!

Success, like happiness, is subjective. It shouldn't be just what others think but more on self-perception, ultimately.

Great, nicely-written review! You've got well-supported, plausibly-constructive points, too, among other good things.

It is true that some women use their looks to climb the ladder of success but as you clearly put it it's just an exclusive category not all .Good review.
