5.0 out of 5 stars I have to disagree ----, November 11, 2000

This review is from: The Irresistible Rose Is Rose (Paperback)

"Rose is Rose" was a simple and rather cutsey-poo strip for the first five years. Recently, however, it has blossomed. Fantasy elements like the mutable, sword-weilding, mobile-phone-carrying guardian angel who overees Pasquale (the couple's child), or Rose's multiple personalities, (expressed by her subjective mutation into Vikki the Biker Chick, or into herself as a child) have enriched it immensely. I hope it continues to improve.

This review is from: The Irresistible Rose Is Rose (Paperback)

Although I admit to being a long time Calvin and Hobbes fan, I have to say that I've grown to prefer Rose is Rose. I love the strip and all of it's sweetness - even selfish cousin Clem. I've seen a lot of people compare this strip to Calvin but I have to say that Pasquale holds his own. While Calvin and his father have anything but a loving relationship, Pasquale worships his father and the teasing between the two is always a gentle sort.

For anyone who loves a family strip without biting sarcasm this is the book for you.

For a life full of complications and schedules, it is a relief to read something that makes your heart and mind lighter. I can identify with Vicki the Biker Chick, child Rose and Rose herself as she simplifies her life. I think anyone with a life full of stress and complications, it will put life in a simplier perspective.
