This was a surprisingly delightful comic. With great humor, fun art, and an effective dose of philosophy, it's an enjoyable adventure story about defying boundaries, having relationships, and chasing your dreams, which also holds plenty of surprises..

I received this book as an Advanced Reading Copy from the publisher in return for an honest review. This has not impacted on my opinion.

This book is worthy of a Pixar movie - it's fun, lighthearted, and humorous. More than once I was laughing at loud as I followed the antics of three simple crabs and their adventures across the beach, while discovering their own potential. And the ending?! Absolutely brilliant and great for a final laugh.

The graphics are gorgeous and simplistic, very fitting to the story and the style of the story. The human characters were brilliantly presented, from the Greenpeace dad, and documentary makers, to the bikini blonde, and the ferry driver.

I loved every moment of it and look forward to more from this talented French author and hopefully the crabs.

I totally didn't expect to like this book so much. The art and story are simple, but gorgeous. There are also twists that I didn't see coming. Especially the ending! Also, try to google it after reading the book, to get more surprises :D
I also like how it's not all about crabs, but also the human life around the crabs. And I like how neatly they are all converge during and at the ending of the book.

Can't wait to read the next volume!

A great graphic novel that explores the perils of being a crab in a human world.
