Book review: The Arrival

Today, I will be doing another review in a book that I have just read, entitled, The Arrival. It is a graphic novel, filled with many stunning hand drawn pictures which are linked together to form a story. It does not have a single word in the story.
It has many interpretations, depending on how you read it, but this is what I think it depicts:

A man is leaving for work in a foreign land. He has a wife and a child. He packs up and unwillingly leaves his family. As he reaches his destination, he sees the exotic range of flora and fauna which he is unfamiliar to. At first, he struggled to find jobs which suited him. He was in a dilema as he was unable to find jobs. Fortunately, he finds a job and starts working.

He eventually gathers enough mmoney to send home. His family decided to come and live in the strange land.

The story has a really happy ending.

It is a good read and I encourage anybody to read it.
