Thanks Netgalley and publisher for giving me this colourful graphic novel.

Unfortunately this graphic novel was pretty long winded like the pages were super long enough that it made me just skim through the pages instead of reading the whole thing. Don’t get me wrong it is super colourful which I give a bit of a high rating but I do think the different sections included in the graphic novel were on top of each other and not clear enough.

This book promised to be like a Queer Where’s Waldo. The history given eas fair, but I found the artwork to be lacking. I wish I didn’t have to leave such a low rating on a book that contains such potential.

Pride shows LGBTQ+ history that goes along with people who have been involved in the movement. Each are displayed to seek and find. Overall, the representation of Queer culture as it has changed over time was okay, and the book mentions some of the most popular figures in the LGBTQ+ community, though it also features personas outside of the community.

I really wanted to like this book, but I can’t get over the artwork. It’s skinny, small, and hard to see the definition enough to find each piece you’re supposed to find. So many of the characters look incredibly similar in the artwork - I found myself losing interest. Not for those with problems with their vision.

A find and seek book— think Where’s Waldo, but a celebration of queer history.

We’re introduced to a set of figures on one page spread, each with a short descriptive paragraph, before being instructed to find them within a scene on the next page spread.

I wanted to love this book, but I found the selection of figures to be hit or miss. The inclusion of figures like Lizzo and Mariah Carey is confusing when there are so many modern queer icons to choose from.

I think this book was on to a great idea, but it slightly missed the mark in execution.

Thank you, Epic Ink, for the advance reading copy.

I do feel and see that this is a very good compilation regarding the evolving culture of the queer community with the mention of some very popular personalities. However, I do feel that the reading experience would be so much better with some extra pages with the illustrations a little bigger and more distinct than it is.

You will learn a lot from this book how far the community has grown with all the struggles and challenges they have faced in the last decades at a glance through this book.

This is a fun seek and find book that celebrates Queer culture through the years. It implements history and culture in the community. Each hide and seek page has an in introduction that explains what the page will be about and talks about the different figures that you will be searching for! I do think that some of the information is a bit outdated or does not go into full detail of things. It's very simplistic. I do like the end page that shows the changes of the pride flag throughout the years. There are definitely more flags in our community than what was listed. The glossary at the end was nice. I do think this will be a great book to give as a gift! If you liked Where's Waldo as a kid, you will like this. Definitely fun for all ages!
