A review by shealwaysreads
Ghetto Klown by John Leguizamo
3.0
Yay me!!! I won this from a @goodreads giveaway way back before the world went lockdown. The publisher postponed sending it out until recently. But when they sent it out they were kind enough to bump it to a hard copy. So I’m super thankful for that.
This was an interesting graphic novel. It was an autobiography based on his journey into the acting world. Which isn’t something I was familiar with. Because let’s face it how often do you think “I wonder how their life path took them the big screen?” I know I don’t think about it.
This was also my first book read in for August. I easily read it in one sitting. I really enjoyed the lay out and the monochromatic scheme. But I did struggle with the story. Which I believe was any fault of the author but if mine.
Why?
Because while the majority is written in English, their are bits in Spanish and having to read and then follow to the Asterix then back to where I was reading kinda really sucked.
So for me I should learn Spanish, for those who know it or don’t mind doin the back and forth thing I’d think you enjoy it.
Leguizamo is an interesting person who seems to deal with issues with humor. Know anyone like that? (Hint: I’m exactly like that.) But even underneath the humor you could still feel the hurt.
