Edouard Cours' take on Herakles is more than worth it. Notably different than the Hercules you are used to seeing on the Disney Channel, Herakles is meant for the adult reader as it follows the mythos. With nudity and the humor to match, this is probably not something you would want you kids to get a hold of, but oh boy should YOU! Just the artwork alone is incredible. the colors were dark and gritty in a good way, helping set the tone for the comic and giving you a sense of how Herakles sees his world.

The story is done well, taking the legend that is Herakles and adding to it. The language used is modern,which makes this an easier read, though you can go pages at a time here and not see a single word and still have the story progress.

Relive all the best of The West Wing.
Co-hosted by actor Joshua Malina, who played Will Bailey in The West Wing, and Hrishikesh Hirway, host of the podcast Song Exploder. The West Wing Weekly reviews and explores the series episode by episode and shares behind-the-scenes stories with guest stars, writers, producers, and more from The West Wing, along with political figures who discuss the politics and social issues portrayed in the series. The co-hosts are intelligent, brilliant and hilarious. Josh Malina's puns are delightful. They put their own spin on the show and are a delight to listen to. I highly recommend this podcast to all West Wing fans. You won't regret it. Well, maybe. It depends on how much you like or hate puns. LOL

The writing style
Humor and fun stories
I enjoyed this book for the most part. It was nice to read about his training, getting started, and opening a practice. The part of him in a Jimmy Buffet cover band was hilarious. He had compassion and empathy and gave me a better impression of plastic surgeons. I like his humility, as well. I'd always assumed they were into perfection and not about improving the lives of regular individuals with tragic backstories. Towards the end of the book, though, when he had an established practice, he did tend to veer in that direction, which was unpleasant, but hopefully, he's not like that in real life. To constantly look at a person and imagine how much better they can look or to feel disgusted because of the way they look must make a very unhappy life.
