A review by jenjenpelly
The Arctic Marauder by Jacques Tardi

3.0



This is one of those books that you read even though your nose is all scrunched up in disbelief while you're reading it. It's a really unusual story told in an unusual way, which kept me going until the end. I was definitely surprised by the twists in the middle of the story, which doesn't happen to me that often. When a student told me about it, he warned me that the ending was very dissatisfying, but I actually didn't think it was. It really became a comment on how evil persists in the world and how most people are blissfully ignorant of the great capacity of man do do evil to other men. Not my usual fare, but interesting to say the least.
