Rod Brown's Reviews > What If We Were...

Interesting characters are wasted on two- to three-page gag strips wherein they parody various genres by playing a game of "what if?" Imagine if these two teenage girls were vikings or secret agents or superheroes or whatever crosses their mind. The humor was just too flat and forced for me.

However, if you are patient and sift through the chaff, there is a sweet little romance hidden within told in bits and pieces that almost makes the rest of the book worthwhile.

I'd love to see the characters in an actual story instead of this comic strip format, especially since the creator is very talented, evidenced by her previous book, the highly enjoyable Camp Spirit.
