[Following is a volunteer review of "Child of the Sun Complete Edition" by Michael Van Cleve.]
Child of the Sun: Complete Edition by Michael Van Cleve is an illustration of Samson's story from the Bible. The author took the words from the pages of the Bible and brought them to life with vivid drawings.
Michael Van Cleve talked about Samson’s strength and his love for women. He describes how he fell in love with Adriana, the woman from Timnath. The author explains Samson’s victories, his encounter with Hercules (his friend), and why Timnath’s people wanted him dead. As the story unfolds, the author introduces characters like Lilith, Zorah, Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, and how giants came to the earth. The book contains themes of love, betrayal, and war.
I love the scene where the witch of Timnath, Gerona Hesperosa, visited the king. Her three words of advice to the king were instrumental, but she is hilarious. She is fond of the word “curse.” I admire her tales about the giants and mighty men. Also, Child of the Sun: Complete Edition contains colorful images of major and minor characters. There is consistency throughout the scenes. Michael Van Cleve uses more detailed pictures in his descriptions than words.
The graphic illustrations in the book are incredible. The bold colors used in the dialogue sections enable the reader to know who is speaking. Also, I enjoyed the drawings. They are very expressive and easy to understand. Although the book is more of visual representations, the storyline is interesting as it is relatable to Samson’s story from the Bible. The conservations between characters were well-portrayed. Adriana had my attention. Despite being very manipulative and selfish because of her shattered childhood experience, she is a survival. She knows what she wants and willing to put her best to get it.
However, there is a lot of graphic representation of the erotic scenes. I wished the sex scenes were more verbal than illustration. With this, the book would accommodate more audiences like pre-teens, teenagers, and young adults. For this reason, I am recommending it to mature adults that love ancient stories. Although the book’s narration is a portion of the Bible, it is not a religious book.
In conclusion, I am rating Child of the Sun: Complete Edition 4 out of 4 stars because the editing is flawless. Also, I enjoyed the ending part of the book. Loose ends were tied, and Delilah's introduction in the epilogue made it easier for the reader to understand Samson’s storyline.
