Commentary In Favor Of Books Original Fake
In this Banksy-inspired illustrated novel, an escalating sibling rivalry train wrecks and vengeance is a street-art act of warIntrovert Frankie Neumann hates his life, and understandably so. He’s got a weird, tutu-wearing sister, Lou, and even weirder parents, Bridget and Brett—Frank Sinatra and Dr. Frank-N-Furter impersonators, respectively. And, he’s just the guy who makes pizza at Pizza Vendetta. Though he has secret artistic aspirations of his own, his over-the-top family makes him want to stay in the background. But Frankie's life is about to change—becoming way more interesting, even a little dangerous, but definitely cool.
After his shift at the pizzeria one night, Frankie meets David and Rory, cousins and errand runners for the mysterious Uncle Epic, a legendary anonymous street artist and Frankie’s absolute idol. Little could Frankie dream that his new adventures with Uncle Epic would lead to the perfect opportunity to strike back at his insufferable sister for a lifetime of torture. But things go haywire quicker than you can say “street art kicks righteous ass,” and the lines are suddenly blurred between art and Frankie’s real life.

"It's hard to tell which one's the monster: the hippo, or the human who destroy's the hippo's habitat." I'm not gonna lie, this is a very strange book...I liked it at first but as it progressed, it became boring and just weird. I was gonna rate it a 3.8, but I realized that I had no reason to like it other than the interesting writing.I am reading Original Fake, written by Kirstin Cronn-Mills. The book takes place in what I assume is New York City. There are three main places for the scenes, the main characters house, his school, and Uncle Epics lair(more on that later). There are a lot of main characters, which include Frankie, Lou, Uncle Epic, David, Rory, and Frankie's mom and dad. Frankie is a 17 year old boy and also the main character who loves art, and I mean LOVES art. Lou is his 15 year old sister who is way into
"Epic is making penises, and we're covering them with fake money that has Andy Warhol in a feather boa on them. Then what?"Welcome to the world of street art!Our protagonist Frankie is a fan. He thinks that it's a meaningful tool to show the world how toxic it is (he's not really wrong) and wants to become a famous (street) artist himself. He just needs to find the right idea and some self confidence, because at the beginning of the story, his trademark art is pretty much adding monsters to old

This was such a fantastic ride! Fast paced, funny and innovative. So thankful I found it!!!!
The book, Original Fake is about a boy who was always the odd one out. He is an artist. His family, Sister and parents are all show people. They are all the same, except for Frankie. His sister, Lou has stolen everything from him. Now he has found out that she participated in a flash rob. Will he get back at her with a worldly famous uncle Epic or will he just deal with his sister and his life?
I recognize that this wasn't perfect, far from it actually. But the 5-star rating I had to give because it was what I needed at that time. I'd come down into a rut with reading, so I needed something light and didn't require my brain cells to work that much. This delivered, and as a bonus, brought art, which is always welcome.
