Bitter Root Vol. 2: Rage & Redemption | David F. Walker, Chuck Brown

What a great series so far! In this volume, the family spans out in New York and Georgia to fight more of the monsters and different type of infected humans. The devil shows up in Georgia (get it?) to try to take over the world but our fighting family has other ideas. Super bloody and violent and great art with the story.

TieDyeDude Have you read any of the essays in the back? Some are just as powerful as the comics! Great series. 1w
booklover3258 No i haven't! I usually skip over the end of graphic novels. Now I'll have to get it back to read the essays. Thanks! 1w

I don't know why I find it fascinating to read other people's secrets on postcards. Probably because when I was a kid and was in the car, I always looked at people's houses and wondered what they were doing. As usual, the book is full of postcards with secrets and some emails. Loved them all and just love the series all together.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I loved this too. I think it‘s the opposite of online social media, where you think everyone has a perfect curated life except you. This shows that everyone has their secrets too…which is more human & real & social I think. 🤷‍♀️ 2w
Cheshirecat913 I always checked out that website back in the early 2000s and remember having the first book. I liked reading them and seeing if it was something I could relate too or just something crazy. 2w
Kitta I loved post secret. I used to religious check the website! Some of them still stick with me. Especially the one with the quote « you accept the love you think you deserve » oof that hits so hard. 2w

Should I have read this before I read the series? Nah, it was much more fun and definitely sad to read it after the series. Since I know what happens to Stormy but Odd does not yet, it's sad in that way. In this very short story, Odd and Stormy are heading to a carnival but are detoured by a recently murdered ghost which they must investigate. This was a wonderful story and makes me miss Odd so much!

bookaholic1 Such a great series..loved it 3w

Chef's Kiss Too sick to do a video review, so here we go. This time around Tariq and his knight fight the king and his men to save the children from them. Once defeated, Tariq and his crew venture out to find the other glowing man. And then the other story is the backstory of Tariq with his family and how he met a doctor who made him the rods to control the radiation. Great story and awesome graphics.

I'm enjoying the series so far. In this book, Bina and her best friend want to start a band. They find a drummer. Her friend falls in love with the drummer and things go wrong really quick now that Bina is a third wheel... Also her neighbor who has been friends with her forever is in love with her but she doesn't feel the same way. Really great graphics and a wonderful story.

I reread the first volume but the second volume was a new read for me. All I can say is wow! I never realized how bad Auschwitz was until I read this book. So sad. It was crazy how many times the author flipped out on his dad throughout the book... I get it he was driving him nuts. Beautiful illustrations throughout. A must read for everyone.

William11 I noticed you enjoy memoirs. Do you have a favorite that really stayed with you? 1mo
booklover3258 @William11 That's a tough one. I would say Michael J. Fox's were definitely amazing to listen to and you can hear how the MS affected his voice in later memoirs. On the flip side, Dave Grohl's one was just wonderful, funny and sad when he talked about Cobain. 1mo

ncsufoxes My husband is an oncology research scientist, he‘s an expert in colon & pancreatic cancers. When our kids were younger he used to explain to them how their food travels through their digestive system & organs (at dinner time). He‘d do all these silly motions & sound effects. They thought it was so hilarious. My 10 year old was just saying about how much she loved learning the journey her food took. 2mo

Just enjoying the series so much! So much as happened in this book, it's hard to do a synopsis. The residents in the nursing home are moved to a safe house but they still have to fight monsters, granny and Mary are still at ends with each other and more iconic figures show up in the book. Beautiful graphics and amazing story. Looking forward to finishing it with the next volume.
