Spirou – l’espoir malgré tout by Émile Bravo
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I’m going to refer those looking for my review to see the review I placed for the first part of this story.
I find this second entry as pretentious as the first. There are a few better scenes that probably should have been the core of this still-another-retread of WWII. But these are fleeting glances and the story continues on the overly-familiar ground.
Again, the characters of Spirou and Fantasio are flushed away for this emotive mess that avoids a typically creative plot.
Where this one fails greatest is the very ending with a cliff hanger of Spirou about to enter an impossible arena.
The solution in any other Spirou & Fantasio romp I could hardly wait for the creative solution.
Why do I have a sinking feeling a train wreck is ahead? That would anger me if the plot deteriorates to that level.
Bottom line: I do not recommend this book. 3 out of ten points.
