Each is well handled - (This review is spoilerish, but not too much). Just received this book today and finished it already! I figured I'd get a review out there while it's still fresh in my mind. In short, this is a story about father and son, creation, corruption, redemption, and friendship... and a little romance for fun too. Each is well handled. I was first introduced to Doug TenNapel's work back in the mid 90's when I played The Neverhood on PC. I've also very briefly played Earthworm Jim, but it's not quite as engraved in my brain. I've also played through his recent game, Armikrog. Strangely enough, this is the first graphic novel of his that I've read, even though these have been his most prevalent artform. This book is yet another example to me of what I like about TenNapel. Perhaps I'm biased because, from what I know of him, we share the same worldview when it comes to religion, politics, and philosophy. I've always wondered whether it was possible for a conservative Christian to exist in the entertainment industry without either making their art shallow in how it expresses their convictions, or making their faith shallow and devoid of substance when they finally express it, if at all. This book shows yet again that TenNapel has done neither. His faith is not painted on the surface of his work as lip surface with nothing underneath. But the truth of his worldview is assumed on every page and is the anchor that holds it down and makes the world of his story coherent. As I read through it, I couldn't help but notice similarities to the story of The Neverhood, though they are both certainly unique stories. Themes of creation, the purpose of that creation being corrupted, and then restored, run through both plots in their own way. There is also a wonderfully refreshing refusal on the author's part to play into the PC culture that so often corrupts art like this. Fathers are fathers. Mothers are mothers. Men are men. Women are women. Jokes about each are funny and unapologetic. This shouldn't be surprising given the willingness TenNapel has shown to speak his mind on such issues in the past. What both stories bring to mind are the parallels they hold to the Christian story. But also the wonderful differences given the humanness of the characters as they create. God created and creation fell. The characters in these stories create, and their creations fall and run wild. However, unlike these stories, our fall and corruption took no power out of God's hands. He laid down his life and had the power to take it up again. He knew that cost from the start. In fact, it was the point of the story. The creating characters in these stories are shocked, surprised, and uncertain, where God is none of those. He has as much control over his story as TenNapel has over those he writes, well... infinitely more-so... yet somehow we as human beings are not fictional and flat. Ok, I'd better not start getting on my theology degree soap-box and start rambling about predestination and free-will. I'll save that for a conversation with Doug TenNapel if I ever get to have one. I'll simply sum up and say this book is great and it has a solid worldview bubbling under the surface. Give it a read whether you share that worldview or not and you're bound to have a good time. Review: Satisfaction Guaranteed - When I was a youngster, I loved to read! I spent most of the money I earned on books, you couldn't keep me out of the library until I had so many books, I created my own library at home. My daughter is 7 and despite the thousands of dollars I have probably spent on books, she doesn't seem to take a similar interest as I had at her age. Thankfully, "Cardboard" changed all that. I stumbled on this book; not sure what I was looking for at the time but Oh So Thankful I happened upon this gem. I looked over the preview of the book to ensure that it wouldn't be too advanced for her and I really enjoyed the story line of the struggling single father trying to make ends meet while providing the "extras" for his son. The graphics were really fun. My daughter has never read a comic book so to have this nearly 300 page book as her first was going to be interesting. Once I had ordered the book, I showed my daughter the preview on desertcart to ask her what she thought. Immediately, she took to it, wanting to "Look Inside" again and again. When the book arrived I received even greater confirmation that I had made a good purchase. My daughter was enthusiastic despite this being a book seemingly geared more towards boys. Now my daughter is more of a princess type then a tomboy and she LOVED this book. I guarantee if I it weren't for me forcing her to call it a night and save some of the story for the next night, we probably would have read the entire book (all 270+ pages)in one night! I was worried that it might be too "scary" for her but she was fine with it; worried the words may be too advanced, she did very well in reading it. She insisted this be a book that we took turns reading as opposed to me reading it all to her (although she did like the accents I gave the different characters when I read). Within three days we had read the entire book. Since I bought it about a month ago, she has read it herself twice more. She takes the book with her on trips. She told me that NOW she loves books. Finally she is making good use of all the great books I have purchased for her over the years. I'd like to thank the author and illustrator and desertcart for changing my daughters opinions about books. I am one happy Momma! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #259,320 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #682 in Teen & Young Adult Fantasy Action & Adventure #1,610 in Teen & Young Adult Comics & Graphic Novels (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 775 Reviews | ## Images ![Cardboard - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71F6hcP059L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and a little romance for fun too.
