Book Reviews of Clover #3
Book Review: 90% fluff
Summary: 2 Stars
Clover 3 follows the story of Ora, a nightclub singer, and Sue, the fairy in the Clover series. Sue (in a cage but able to hear the outside world) hears Ora singing. She can phone Ora and so they talk on the phone and become close friends. Sue is delighted when they compose a duet together. Meanwhile we see Ora and her boyfriend Kazuhiko having warm fuzzy times.
This book is about 90% fluff. The actual story ending and all could be summarized into about a paragraph long story. There are tons of glamor shots of Ora singing on stage wearing fake wings and all sorts of crazy undergarment oriented costumes. Over and over we get to read the words to her repetoir of three songs. So you see some black and white drawings of a pretty girl with sappy poetry written on the same page. Many of these drawings are well done. These are graphic, with power but not much detail. There are also many poorly done drawings with not much detail or graphic element.
This book has a lot of unused space. Usually there will be a drawing in a small box set off center on a white page. There is not a single page in this book that is covered with a picture or with pictures. (Although for maybe 5 pages of the 90 this works and there is a nice flow.) Three 1.5 x 1.5 inch frames per page is about average. Maybe they were trying to set a certain mood and pacing. If so they failed.
Another issue I had with this book is that the lettering is all done by computer and is displayed in computer drawn circles or squares. It comes off as very awkward because often I had no idea who was saying which line in the dialog. This book seems like someone put it together with clip art of the characters and no idea of what they wanted to produce.
I couldn't see anyone actually paying for this. If you are borrowing it from a friend or from the library then it may be worth thumbing through. Even the time to investigate is a bit much of an investment for this story.
Summary of Clover #3
In the third installment of their cult-favorite `cyber-goth` drama, CLAMP takes us back in time a year, to before Kazuhiko took Suu on her fateful journey to Fairy Park. Find out how Suu knew so much about Kazuhiko and his lover, when she spent her entire life in a cage, and discover the origin of the song that plays throughout the series. Now is the perfect opportunity to check out the dark side of CLAMP, the creators of CARDCAPTOR SAKURA and X/1999.Comics & Graphic Novels Books
