The Book "Ginseng Roots: A Memoir", by Craig Thompson, is a Masterpiece that is Worth Buying, Reading, and Re-Reading

This is our first book review. It's simply because the book is sooo good that we felt compelled to write this article and bring it to your attention.

"Ginseng Roots A Memoir" is a graphic novel by Craig Thompson.

We love it so much because,

It's a graphic novel, not a long-form read. We love graphic novels.
The vast amount of information about the plant, its history, and personal stories distilled and juxtaposed makes it extremely interesting.
The drawings are exquisite in the sense of authenticity. If you are familiar with certain ethnic groups of people, you can often identify the characters, even down to the locales such as Taiwan and Mainland China. It's definitely not a one-size-fits-all type of people rendering. That's mastery!!
The lettering of Chinese Characters and product brands is very well drawn. If you see the brands in the wild, you will see them just like they are portrayed in the book.
The stories of himself and the inspirations that he shared are... "inspiring"!
It's an easy read, but packed with so much information and rich drawings that you sometimes feel like you are seeing treasures left and right in a forest.

The only drawback is that my wife is also reading it and LOVING it too. That means we have to share time on the book.

Our big hats off to the master illustrator and master storyteller, Craig Thompson!!🙏🌟
