Book Review - The Last Book You'll Ever Read: Complete Series by Cullen Bunn + Giveaway

 

Olivia Kade wrote the book that could bring about the end of the world. She needs someone to protect her who hasn't read the book. Her book, Satyr, is being blamed for the violence and bloodshed all over the world. Olivia's own life is in danger when her readers are attacking her. However, she is still determine to do a book tour for her book.

I thought the graphic novel was gorgeously rendered but, it did have some adult themes. However, I felt that the graphic novel didn't really have much of a story and everything was being repeated several times. I also don't understand why Olivia was so persistent in spreading her book when her life was in danger and so many violent things were happening. The book was a collection of all eight comics but, nothing was answered and I was left with more questions. I felt that this entire book was rather pointless. 

**Disclosure - I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest opinion**

Her book, SATYR, is an international bestseller, and it is being blamed for acts of senseless violence and bloodshed all over the world.
