Not quite what I was expecting. This is a graphic novel and biography, but it's not quite either too.

Disclaimer: I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley.

This book explored a unique format: the biography of Winston Churchill as a graphic comic. Because of this format, I was able to read this book in one sitting. I don't feel like I got a comprehensive biography out of Churchill out of it, but I felt that this touched upon many of the highlights in an entertaining and digestible way. 

I rated this book three stars because, at times, the material just felt dry, and it felt like I was forcing myself to keep up and read. At other times, I felt like there was a deeper story to the bits of dialog that appeared within the graphics, but without additional context, I had no idea what there was to it. For young readers, I hope that this pushes them to explore and learn more via additional books and materials. For myself, as a busy adult - I will probably just forget these bits and not explore further.

Overall, I appreciated what this book set out to accomplish., and I think others will, too.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is a fantastic graphic novel about one of the most historically remembered and important figures in british history to date. 
I learnt alot of valuable information from this book about Winston Churchill that i didnt know before.
The book takes us through Winston Churchill's life from childhood and his upbringing through to his military experience and background and experiences during the 1st world war.
This is a great informal book for anyone wanting to learn about this great man in a more inventive and memorable format.
