Reviews for Good: From the Amazon Jungle to Suburbia and Back

"""A heartfelt and vivid account of David Good's true journey--and truly stranger-than-fiction!"" --Scott McCloud, best-selling author of Understanding Comics ""The Amazon rainforest is a thing of beauty. The art here clearly conveys this. When the mother and son meet it will bring tears to your eyes. This is so touching"" -- First Comics News Review ""David Good's name is probably one you've not previously come across unless you've a particular interest in anthropology, but Good proves a fascinating story is a fascinating story whether or not you're familiar with the subject."" -- The Slings and Arrows​ Review ""The detailed art is attuned to human emotions, as shown in the garish expressions of David's classmates and in David's mother's subtle smile."" --Foreword"
