    About this ebook

    Jewel at 33 is a Princess in her own right.
    She's a fun-loving, demanding Diva who loves to shop as much she loves to write. Jewel is the apple of everyone's eye--be it her doting family, her doctor for her never-ending bowel issues, her pushy book editor and especially her frugal husband's soft spot. So, what's Jewel's weakness? Her pet dogs: Snowie and Dolly. Particularly, naughty Snowie who is known to pee wherever he fancies--including Dolly's face!
    For Jewel, her physical disability doesn't dampen her spirits. Rather, it enhances them. She gets to use an unusual fashion accessory (Imagine: A hot pink elbow crutch.) She gets out of doing housework. She gets carried up-and-down stairs like a Princess a la command. Jewel may be horribly messy, terrible with numbers and a workaholic, but nobody can imagine life without her. Not that she would let them, anyway! She has a big mouth, remember?

      I received this book through a Goodreads Giveaway.

      I like the idea of this book - a bubbly, sexy woman faces her disability with positivity and humor - but the execution falls flat in writing and art.

      The brunt of the book is in gag-a-day comic strip format, and unfortunately, none of the punchlines in the final panel are very funny. Some pages are given over to profiles of the author and her family, which generally serve as introductions to the following gag strips. I would have preferred having the family members introduced in the strips themselves. In the end this book seems more like a random sampling of existing material rather than a new graphic novel or cohesive compilation.

      And the art . . . In any given panel, the art looks all right though slightly amateurish. But as you view panel after panel, it is apparent the artist is making heavy use of the copy-and-paste function in whatever software she is using to create the strips. I think she has literally drawn the main character's head only once in her life. Since then she simply flips it left or right and adjusts the eyeballs and mouth slightly to make the appropriate expressions. If she's not going to put in much effort, then perhaps neither should I.
