5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful, funny and surprisingly informative.,
By Matt Cantor (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jung for Beginners (Writers and Readers Documentary Comic Book) (Paperback)
I was suprised at the depth which could be reached in such a short volume. The illustrations are flippant and silly. Not overly light or impertinant. Enough for a first exposure to Jung and a taste to take the reader further if they feel a need to do so. Very worthwhile.

Not the best Beginners Book,
By
This review is from: Jung for Beginners (Writers and Readers Documentary Comic Book) (Paperback)
Jon Platinia's book on Jung is a fair introduction. The presentation and organization of the book overall is somewhat confusing while the writing is dry and unexciting. I found myself skimming over some lines either because the writing was uninteresting, or the subject at hand. The life of Jung was interesting, but once it moved into the psychological works, it lost some of its steam. There are better Jung intro's available than this one.

Beautiful Exploration,
This review is from: Jung for Beginners (Writers and Readers Documentary Comic Book) (Paperback)
This comic book is a great introduction to Jung for young adults and adults alike. The drawings in this book immaculately illustrate Jung's theories giving the book a real cosmic flair. In this book, as with all Beginners Documentary Comics, you get a great mixture of biography and theory...Allowing the reader to not only explore the works of the person being examined, but also offering a peak into the mind/life experience of that individual. I highly recommend these comic books for educational purposes. They allow topics that may generally seem overwhelming to be viewed in short hand with the benefit of innovative art and wit.
