"Sonora Pass" is a story that dives into big questions about fate and friendship. As the band gets back together and uncovers a mystery, it shows how our past connections affect us now. It also talks about how searching for truth can be like playing music—sometimes it's smooth, sometimes it's not. Congrats to the author, #BOTD!

I do not like graphics in between my reading except it's for a good cause. This book seems to have a good cause for its graphics, I like that the storyline is about friendship and brings some thrillers and comics. Kudos to the reviewer for such a precise review.

Sonora Pass may not be a game changer in the mystery genre, but it, of course, tightens it. This is not about a witty clue or a phenomenal unveiling. It is a kind of guttural inquiry into how the past blinks into the present and how even those who are closest to us can become unrecognizable in the muted light.

Story told via comic book that of 1995 .....it's really interesting....stories of that time make sense in many ways as people and things happen to them were also real.

A comic about family, friends and foe with the touch of mystery and thriller. I cant remember the last time I read comic and appreciate the artwork so I'm adding this to my list. A good read to those who are in reading slump.

The review effectively captures the essence of "Sonora Pass," depicting how Esteban and Rachel's divorce meeting evolves into a journey of friendship with Jonah and others. The setting in Montreal adds depth to their bond, culminating in a memorable band reunion.

The review captures the essence of how life's unexpected turns bring people together. I like how it highlights the significance of friendship amid life's challenges, like divorce and career changes. The mention of music and reunions adds depth to the story, showing how shared passions bond friends across time and distance.

The cover of the book is colourful and inviting. And from your review, the author must have done a great job using illustrations to tell this story. I find it difficult to reconcile the book being a comic since the initial plot I read was about divorce, but I'm interested to see how the plot development goes.

"SONORA PASS" by Jaime Olmos is a murder mystery book. The book is presented in graphic form with speech bubbles. I loved the graphics however I am not a fan of reading comic book-style speech bubbles as it gets me dyslexic as to where to read now. That is just my opinion. However as per the content, one would like to read this book if they are into murder mystery solving with some humour. Congrats on BOTD!!

Jaime Olmos's "Sonora Pass" is not just a whodunit. Instead, this is an exploration into the depths of the characters, where the real mystery resides. True, a murder is the turning point of the movie, but a genius way of shaping the audience's opinion about the main characters, who are long-term friends, deserves praise.

I have not come across comic books of this kind before. The illustrator did a great job with the cover art. I will give this book a chance. Thank you for the review.
