Cassandra Darke by Posy SimmondsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
With the complexity of your average TV drama, Posy Simmonds manages to juggle text and images to tell a complex tale featuring our titular character. Whilst people that read plenty of books may plough this rather quickly, you may wish to take your time to appreciate Posy Simmonds' work as an illustrator. Using an array of medium, you are able to see some of the textures that each art medium is making, which for those that do comic book work a breath of fresh air from the usual cleaning up.
Cassandra Drake is a solid suburban tale of love, crime, and everything in between. The characters are well crafted, making you emphasise with them at the right places in the story. A very good read that is an ideal start for anyone getting into the work of Posy Simmonds.
