Book Reviews of A Right to Be Hostile: The Boondocks Treasury
Book Review: Missing Some Key Strips!
Summary: 3 Stars
Alright, first off, I'm loving the Boondocks comics. I was introduced to the animated series before reading the original comics. The series is ok (I'm not a fan of the heavy use of the "N" word by ANYONE) but the comic is utterly fantastic! Whether or not others like or "approve" of the strip is not a concern for me. To each his/her own, just respect folks with different perspectives and tastes. That said...
The reason I gave this book only 3 stars is because it's missing some key strips. I'd checked out from my local library "Because I Know You Don't Read the Newspaper" and "Fresh for '01", which is what made me decide to buy the treasury; I just had to have more! But as I read this treasury I felt something was missing. As I read on it hit me: Psycho "Star Wars" Guy (if you don't know, read the other titles)!! Then I realized the treasury was missing the mini-saga when Granddad was a census taker but got Riley to do his work...(again, read the other titles). It was so hilarious and I just can't figure out how/why it got left out. I haven't finished reading the book so I don't know what else got left out, but I'm still disappointed enough to only give the treasury (NOT the content of The Boondocks itself) 3 stars.
Summary of A Right to Be Hostile: The Boondocks Treasury
Here's the first big book of The Boondocks, more than four years and 800 strips of one of the most influential, controversial, and scathingly funny comics ever to run in a daily newspaper."With bodacious wit, in just a few panels, each day Aaron serves up-and sends up-life in America through the eyes of two African-American kids who are full of attitude, intelligence, and rebellion. Each time I read the strip, I laugh-and I wonder how long The Boondocks can get away with the things it says. And how on earth can the most truthful thing in the newspaper be the comics?"
