Review of 'Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Disturbing in a good way I guess.

The blurb said the book is a sci-fi graphic novel, I would say it is a moving tale on the cruelty to black people with vivid imagery.

The things that people do. Many wise people had told this in various forms, "It is impossible to hate someone when you know their full story". There is one thing to hurt another with an intention of hurting. But god! the things that we do in the name of love. People end up killing their children, selling their children, raping each other, and whatnot, all in the name of love. When we get to know their full story like everyone else they too have a story that had shaped them that way.

This thought is scary. Knowing that I am also a human does not seem good when we see this aspect of human beings. But then the world has also witnessed men and women of great kindness, courage, and honor. It is the wolf that we choose, isn't it?
