Summary: Just for kids
Comment: I generally expect certain things from a graphic novel. First of all, I expect gripping art. This book does not have gripping art. It is primarily computer generated art, with sketched characters.

Secondly, I expect a graphic novel to be sufficiently complex that it needs pictures to fully convey what it is trying to say. I think that it only marginally qualifies on this count. There are some sequences that fully exploit the artform, but they are only a tiny portion of the book.

Third, the plotline should make sense, even if it only makes sense in the alternate reality in which the story occurs. This book had me up until the aliens from outer space entered the plot. It was too cheesy a plot device.

My seven year old found the book greatly amusing. My twelve year old thought it was very educational and thought-provoking. My fifteen year old shrugged like he just didn't get it, and my husband, a great fan of president Lincoln, couldn't make himself finish the book (I bought it for him).

This is a good book for middle schoolers and below. It does possess some educational value, and has some amusing sequences. Older fans of the comic book format will probably be disappointed.
