CHiP 5 by Jens Pindal is a young-adult book written in a newspaper-style comic. The reader follows Chip and friends on a comic ride as they complain about how boring and tiring the lockdown has been since 2020. Chip and his friend, Zort, decide to watch Groundhog Day for the 38th time due to boredom. They also counted jelly beans over and over again. The lockdown was already running them crazy.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when Chip and Zort started eating tissue papers due to the lockdown since they had exhausted the food in the house. They teach and encourage readers to plan during the pandemic. There are so many hilarities that cracked me up in this publication. For example, in a bid for Zort to protect himself from the deadly virus, he attached a giant cork on his nose that made him look so funny and laughable. I must applaud the author for the fascinating humor in this book. Just pick up the book and get entertained.

The storyline touches on different topics like politics, life, trust, and friendship. What I liked most was that there were moral lessons to derive from this comic book. Firstly, I learned that patience is the secret to life. Secondly, people tend to forget and default on their new year resolution easily. This is thought-provoking! Thirdly, Chip reminds us that we are in a wicked world of "eat or get eaten."

The characters are well developed and unique. Some of these characters have funny looks like Zort, whose nose is long and looks like a trumpet. Bill is another character that looks kind of scary. And though Chip is the main protagonist, my favorite is Zort because he is so funny, real, and honest.

The illustrations in the book are so colorful, clear, and attractive. I liked how the graphics made the characters easy to identify without confusion. The dialogues between characters were also vivid and understandable. I enjoyed how the author used arrows to point toward the direction of the character who was speaking.

The only thing I disliked about this book was that its narrations appeared short and unsatisfying. I felt like it left some of my questions unanswered. However, it also helped the book to stay concise. So I won't hold a grudge for that.

Interestingly, there are fun exercises in this book, like spotting Chip and Zort. Also, kids are allowed to create their own funny stories using their creative minds, with the aid of the pictorials in the book.

To conclude, this publication is a stand-alone, so you don't need to read the other books in the series. Aside from the negligible displeasure I mentioned earlier, it was a fun read overall. The book will appeal to teenagers and adults who enjoy comedy and drama. I believe this book was professionally edited because I encountered only one error. Hence, I award this book a perfect rating of 4 out of 4 stars.

We have all had our lockdown struggles. I am glad that someone put our experiences in writing. This is a relatable tale of lockdown woes that lots of people would love to sample and compare with their own. I am sure that,other than children, there are others who would enjoy the story. Thank you for an insightful review.

Indeed at a point during the lockdown I could literally feel myself losing my mind. Utterly frustrating.

Chip looks like Chip from The Fairly OddParents TV show. His antics sound like things the TV Chip would do too! Thank you for your detailed and entertaining review.
