5.0 out of 5 stars If you want a great manga, you've found it!, January 6, 2000

This review is from: Gon Swimmin (Paradox Fiction) (Paperback)

I'm a big manga fan and Gon is one of my favorites. Although it is wordless, the pictures inside seem to be alive and telling the story. No matter what race you are, you'll understand it, there's no language barrier at all because theres only actions in this manga! Its cute and very exciting, when you're done, you'll thirst for more! Even picture inside are neatly and detaily drawn. Definitly worth your 5 bucks! Just the price of your lunch except you can read this over and over again!

5.0 out of 5 stars A picture is worth a thousand words, February 4, 2000

This review is from: Gon Swimmin (Paradox Fiction) (Paperback)

I must admit I bought this book on an impulse at seeing how cheap it was and in my dire need to kill some time. I was amazed to find just how involving the stories in this volume ended up being! The artwork is amazing and more than makes up for the complete lack of written word. Despite this though, it is still an engaging read as the artwork in every character and background is so lovingly rendered that you will want to read each story as thoroughly as possible so you can soak up the depth of the drawings, storytelling and humour.

If you have a few bucks to spare this title will definately keep you entertained when you need some light reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's my favorite book. Gon is swimming in a tortoise shell!, June 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gon Swimmin (Paradox Fiction) (Paperback)

Gon is one mischivious little dinosaur. In this book he is walking and finds a turtle shell. He kicks it and slips inside. Next he goes into the water with his turtle buddies and gets in fights with giant squids and seagulls. In the next story Gon is picked up by a tornado and lands in the desert. My favorite story is Gon and his posse.
