Reviews

[James Crawford · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was bought this book as a Christmas present. I was looking forward to reading a Jodorowsky and was excited by the prospect of The White Lama.

The library edition is a great presentation. The cover, binding, etc are great. But I found the story weak and didn't like / wasn't impressed by anything here.

There are plenty of 4 and 5 star reviews for this book. But this wasn't my cup of tea and I don't know if I will read any more Jodorowsky.
