Storybook Favorites

The first story book that caught my attention was “Onboard the Spaceship Pushpaka” because of its interesting title.  I like the idea of combining classic Indian epics with a futuristic sci-fi twist.  The introduction did a good job of setting up the back story for the plot and describing the layout of this universe that the story is to take place in.  Overall, the physical layout was very well done and clear and easy to follow.  I really liked the graphics and illustrations used to layout the space imagery as well; they were bright and colorful and made the story look more exciting and interesting.

The second story book, “Law and Order: Shape Shifter Unit”, also caught my attention because of its interesting title. I thought it was very unique and creative to combine the Indian legends with a popular crime fighting television show.   This introduction also did a good job of laying out the background for the story.  The author did a good job of writing in the same format and style as the actual CSI:SVU television show, which made it more fun to read.  This story also had a very well done layout.  It was very clearly laid out and easy to follow in progression.


The third story book that caught my eye, “Rama’s Bestiary:An Unknown Book”, seemed very interesting and mysterious.  The introduction was very cleverly laid out, by putting the story from the reader’s point of view as if they are the main character of the story, you feel more involved with the action while reading through it.  This left me with the feeling of wanting to read more and hooked me in.  The graphics and layout were very well done, with all of the images and background fitting in really well with the story.
