Come along with Captain Bluebear for the first 13 ½ of his 27 lives. Each chapter in this thick book (don’t worry there are lots of pictures) recounts the story of one life. The Capn’s adventures include sailing the high seas with the mini pirates, doing psychedelic mushrooms in the desert with crazy Bedouin-like people, living in a wild tornado full of centurions, slaying evil villains and lots more. All this while dropping through holes in dimensional hiatuses like so much swiss cheese.I’m a big kid at heart. I really enjoyed this book because it managed to create a children’s storybook feel but remain an “adult” book.
Great story, great illustrations and great world building. Two furry blue thumbs up!

I just couldn't get into this book. Not because the stories were not interesting, but because each chapter seemed much like the last and made me feel like the book would never end. I would have enjoyed it more as a graphic novel, as it was I felt like the book wasn't headed anywhere, just a bunch of cute chapters/lives with no real point.
