Recent Reads: Chew the graphic novel series by John Layman and Rob Guillory
Welcome to a world where avian flu has swept the world, and where eating chicken has been outlawed. The most powerful law enforcement agency is the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) as they have to shut down any and all ways of people eating chicken.
Tony Chu is a cibopath, which means that he can see where something he has eaten has come from, it's memories, you might say. The same is true if he eats normal food, or people. The only thing that stops his powers are beets.
This graphic novel series is not for the faint of heart or stomach! Yes, Tony does indeed take bites out of people, and we have blood, and guts, and other people eating others, because, believe it or not, Tony Chu is an FDA Agent, and eating people is often part of his job.
I've read all 12 volumes of the graphic novel, and it was very entertaining, funny, heartwarming, gross and sad. I really recommend it, but just bear in mind my warnings over the grossness of it!
If you do read it, I hope you enjoy, and do go all the way until the end!

Chew volume 1 was published in 2009, and is available to buy on Amazon and on Waterstones. I've found a link to where you can search for local bookshops, including independent!
