So first off the author is as interesting as the book and the book is ridiculously interesting. Jason Shiga is the author and he is known for being a reclusive math genius. At age 12, Shiga was the 7^th highest ranked child go player in Oakland. He has won the Xeric award, Eisner award, Ignatz award, and Stumptown Comics Award. Plus another cool fact, Bookhunter is based on actual events.

This is book is over the top fun. You ever wanted to see a hard core Liberian mess people up because of over due or stolen books?! Well, not really but it is a smart, fun look at the crime of people stealing old expensive books. The main character is seriously hilarious.The story unfolds in such a fun who done it kind of way. The art is perfect. It really supports the whole idea of the story. There is also a great balance of action and story here. There isn’t a wasted page in this whole book, we are sucked into this world is such a detailed, well thought out artist way, it is inspiring. Thank you Jason Shiga and thank you Sparkplug Comics. So, if you love fun, smart, over the top cartoon action, you will love the Bookhunter!
