Great artwork and graphics and fascinating story concept. Loved immersing myself in a graphic novel. Interesting characters and depth and meaning in the stories.
Typical hero's journey tale, beautiful artwork. A welcome diversion.
Well, I gave the 'Clockwork Lives' novel 5-stars when I read it so 'Clockwork Lives' with artwork deserves the same.Seriously though, I think Neil's tales of the land of Albion from the 'Clockwork Angels' album & two novels is my favorite of all his works related to Rush.
It was fun to return to the world introduced in Clockwork Angels. There are enough Easter eggs and references to make even the smallest Rush geek giddy.
This is a followup to the Clockwork Angels graphic novel, but, as far as I can tell, it's not necessary to have read it to enjoy Clockwork Lives. And I should know, since I haven't. In fact, despite considering myself a Rush fan, I haven't even listened to the Clockwork Angels album. One of these days … In my defense, I was a huge fan of the band back in high school, then got interested in other bands, and have only recently returned to the fold. So any Rush from around 1990 or so up until the r...
I borrowed this great graphic novel from the library, but it's one I'll be on the lookout for to add to my shelves. This is an adaptation of the book 'Clockwork Lives', also by Anderson and Peart, which I also need to get my hands on. Their 'Clockwork Angels' was a favourite read of mine a few years ago and this graphic novel is set in the same steampunk world as that one.'Clockwork Lives' is a collection of stories within a story and I really liked the way that each story was given to a differe...
This is a sequel (prequel... midquel?) to Clockwork Angels: The Graphic Novel and it shares, more or less, the same highs and lows as its companion (see my review). First the negatives: as before, the graphic novel feels a bit condensed and so, some of the narrative is slightly tricky to follow. For example, there are two pages that I think may be printed in the wrong order. The fact that I only think they are in the wrong order and don't know for sure shows my confusion with the narrative. Also...
This is quite a different reading experience, one I quite liked. Some parts of the story could have delved deeper into the character, but since it's an adaptation of a novel, I understand why maybe they didn't put all the details in this version. Then again, I haven't read the original novel, so I'm not sure exactly what's different in this version of the novel. This is still a marvelous journey and quite different from what I expected. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is just because I
Book Nerd Your Way 2021... Book #25I wasn't too sure about this one when I picked it up, but it turned out to be a really good book. The artwork was amazing and the story was brilliant. Remember to live your live to the fullest, you only get one.
1. This is my first steampunk style graphic novel 2. I still haven’t gotten around to reading Clockwork Angels3. This was still an extremely enjoyable book.The novel is composed of multiple stories so there is probably one or two stories that will appeal greatly to anyone. This novel also expands the steampunk world for those who aren’t quite sure what to expect.If you enjoyed the original Clockwork stories, this might enjoy this one.
A very fun story, but falls prey to a lot of the standard tropes of steampunk. Very few POC, and none with lines, and the romances were disappointingly het. About what one would expect from a legend of dad-rock. That said, an interesting world to explore, and some very fun characters.
