Love Volume 3 The Lion Frederic Brremaud Federico Bertolucci 9781942367093 Books Reviews

I admit, I didn't know exactly what I was signing up for while picking up this story, but I'm happy I did it. It was an interesting experience and I'd like to repeat it with the other two volumes of "Love".

The authors had a wonderful idea to use only images to tell the story. After all, "a picture is worth a thousand words".

In the story, we'll follow a single lion banished from its pack, wandering through the African plains. Authors marked him with distinct darker mane, so he's easily recognizable.

Few times the story reminded me of "The Lion King", but really, which story about lions wouldn't? But don't be mistaken, by picking this book you won't get a cute Disney story. You'll get a realistic tale about few animals that might've as well happened many times before and might happen again. You'll see the nice, funny moments of playtime and you'll see the hunt and fight scenes.

The graphic is lovely - the calm brownish colors fit perfectly. They're realistic and wonderful. The drawings are lively and atmospheric. It's really nice to watch. I'd love to get a paper version of this novel one day. After all, it doesn't require translation so there shouldn't be a problem to sell it pretty much everywhere ;).

Should you pick up this book? Yes, if you like stories about nature and lovely graphics. Yes, if you want something refreshing. And yes if you're in a reading slump - no words after all ;)

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
*”Love The Lion” – written by Frederick Brremaud and illustrated by Federico Bertolucci – is a tragically bittersweet tale of how life in the African jungles and savannahs can be especially cruel to a lone male lion after he is ousted from his pride upon reaching adulthood. This is the third book in the series that started with “Love The Tiger”, followed by “Love The Fox”.

The official synopsis is “The third volume in the lavishly illustrated series of wildlife graphic novels, each following a single central animal through an adventurous day in their natural environment. Each tale depicts genuine natural behavior through the dramatic lens of Disney-esque storytelling, like a nature documentary in illustration.

“Both heartwarming and heartbreaking, this volume focuses on a solitary Lion as it wanders the plains of Africa, handling the daily hunt, and vicious rivalry, without a Pride of its own. The circle of Life takes center stage in a world where predator and prey trade places on a regular basis, and Family is something worth fighting -- and dying -- for. This exciting tale, written by Frederic Brremaud, is told without narration or dialogue, conveyed entirely through the beautiful illustrations of Federico Bertolucci.

“A beautiful, powerful tale of survival in the animal kingdom that explores the all-too-identifiable, universal concepts of Life, Courage, Aging, and ultimately Love.”

This coming-of-age tale shows what happens when male lions are ousted from the pride they are born into. It vividly shows the hunt for food, for a new family to fit into, and shows Nature at Her cruelest.

We follow this lion’s life journey after the older male cub assists in taking down an antelope, only to be chased off the meat by the pride’s alpha male. Then hyenas move in during a rainstorm and wrest the kill from the lions altogether.

We watch a detailed quest for the young lion’s survival – the quest for food, trying to find his place in this cruel world, and trying to become part of a new pride. We also see how the other animals in his native environment interact – a ruthless kill or be killed environment.

The attention to detail in the artwork is absolutely breathtaking! After the body of the tale has been told, there is also the artist’s sketchbook as to how this tale was brought to life.

Not to spoil anything, but the very last frame is heartbreakingly beautiful – it’s one image that you won’t be able to get out of your mind any time soon. Definitely check out this exquisite tale, but be sure you have a box of tissues handy when you do so.

Despite being dialogue and narration free, we get to experience life through this lion’s eyes. The reader has no choice but to fall in love with him. This is one fantastic book that will tug at your heartstrings long after you’ve closed the back cover.
I read the first book in this series, "Love The Tiger" and thought it was an interesting idea. I missed the second book but grabbed this one when I saw it. This was one of a slew of books that wouldn't open in Adobe Edition and I ended up getting it from the library after it released.

The artwork in this is indeed lush, even stunning at times, though the color palette is more subdued and somber, a reflection of the story's geographical setting. I missed the vibrant colors form the first book but they would have been out of place in this one.The actual drawings were full of detail but at times the details were murky. It was frequently difficult to know which of the lions on the page was the one we were meant to be following; sometimes he had a dark mane, sometimes a light one, and sometimes no main at all. The blurb says the story occurs in a single day but it didn't read that way; it seemed to take place over a longer stretch of time. The panel arrangement and the artwork often made for a confusing story line. Like the first book, the scenes are graphic; Bertilucci and Brrémaud make no attempt to soften up how brutal and violent life in the wild is. A few pages were too much for me and I skimmed or skipped over them. The ending was heartbreaking and the last of page of panels was bittersweet.

The story was difficult to follow and the artwork, while often gorgeous, added to the confusion. Unlike the first book, we do get names of some of the different animals in the story, as part of some extra artwork at the page. "Love The Lion" didn't wow me but if you want an unglorified, non-Disney look at a day in the life of a lion, this book should fit the bill.
Good!
