Creative, imaginative — well worth the visual journey, although my Kindle copy came in a little rough. Wonderful art.

I love the premise of this book and the potential for the plot from what I could deem from it, but the file was mostly difficult to read so I cannot reasonably ascertain if I would recommend it.

I could not read the file that was sent. The images were beautiful, but since this was a kindle only download, it was not readable. If this was an epub, I could have read it, but there was not even an option to read it in the netgalley app. I do not feel comfortable submitting a full review of book I could not read.

I was so excited to read this! I love The Wizard of Oz, so this is right up my alley! Unfortunately, I couldn’t read most of it because the file seems to be corrupted or something. But the art was awesome, from what I could tell, and I cannot wait to read it when it is published!

I was given an advanced reader's copy via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own

I am not really sure how to review Tin Man. I love The Wizard of Oz, so I’m drawn to anything that is even remotely related. I’m struggling with the review because I was unable to read a majority of the story due to pixelation. I did love the graphics in the book and I do look forward to being able to read a hard copy of the graphic novel one day.

Thank you to Amulet Books and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

First off, I am a huge Wizard of Oz fan. When I saw the cover, I knew that I needed to add this book to my TBR list right away! Tin Man by Justin Madson is a YA graphic novel that will pull at your heartstrings. The story revolves around high-schooler Solar, whose grandmother has recently died. One day, while dumpster diving, she encounters Cambell, a tin woodman seeking a heart. According to the synopsis, this book is "equal parts The Iron Giant, The Wizard of Oz, Edward Scissorhands, and Freaks and Geeks,"

Overall, Tin Man is a lovely and emotional story about friendship and grief. One highlight of this book is the Wizard of Oz connection. As a lifelong Oz fan who has read plenty of sequels and adaptations, I was so excited to read this new graphic novel that was partially inspired by the Wizard of Oz. I did take off 1 star, because the ARC that I read was so pixelated that I couldn't read a lot of the text. I'm sure they will fix this when the book actually comes out though. If you're intrigued by the synopsis, or if you're a fan of graphic novels, I highly recommend that you check out this book when it comes out in April!
