The Sweet Tooth Trilogy tells the story of Gus. A hybrid child in a post apocolyptic world who has no idea that he is different. He has been raised with his father in a cabine in the woods - never meeting another person. A pandemic has struck the earth and all babies born after the pandemic hits are hybrids of animals and people - all different levels of intelligence. The humans set out to kill all the hybrids, or bring them to scientist to study them and find out why all the humans are still dying while the hybrid children are thriving.
Gus' father dies and he meets a man named Jepperd who promises to help him. For the first time, Gus (nicknamed Sweet Tooth for his love of chocolate) leaves the safety of his cabin and his woods and follows Jepperd into the world. What follows is the discovery of other children like him, the people who want to help them and to harm them, and his quest to find out the truth of where he really came from.
This was a great series. It is an acclaimed graphic novel and soon to be a Netflix series, so I wanted to check it out. It was really good. I became invested in the story (of course it is my favorite genre - dystopian) and the mystery surrounding Gus and his beginning and the hybrid children. Once I read the first novel I quickly got the next two because I had to see how it ended and I was no disappointed. It is a well told story and it wraps up in my favorite way - in the future with a follow up of the characters.
If you like graphic novels, dystopian future stories and are curious about the Netflix show - check this out. IT was a pretty quick read, and I am so glad I read it.
Stars: 4 1/2

Whenever things start to go right, that is when they go very, very wrong. Lemire's cast of complex and flawed characters continue their journey toward freedom and safety and salvation in this next installment of the bleak, touching, wrenching, and excellently-told story that is Sweet Tooth.

This was a great series, would definitely recommend. It's pretty dark, set in a post apocalyptic world taken over by a disease killing off man, but it's also about love and family and the ends we'll take to protect the people we love.

روایت داستان افت داره. کند میشه و پرداخت ها هم از دقت کافی برخوردار نیست.
از نکات قوت جلد قبلی که در این نسخه هم ادامه پیدا میکنه، زمینه مذهبی مسیحی داستان هست. ترکیب چنین فضای سهمگینی با منطق الهیاتی مسیحی یک دوگانگی جالبی ساخته که نمیشه حدس زد این تعابیر صرفا یک سوتفاهم است یا واقعیت.
رویا بینی از آینده هم تمهید جالبی است که این خط را قوی میکند. همچنین اشارات انجیل پدر به شیطان سفید آینده هم فضا را مبهم و اعتماد به شخصیت ها را دشوار میکند هم جنبه دینی اثر را تقویت میکند.
تطبیق پسر با مسیح مکرر انجام میشود ولی به نظر میرسد دقیق نیست و داستان دیگری وجود دارد.
طراحی های زشت و ازارنده کماکان ادامه دارند و اتمسفر اثر را میسازند.
