This is the third book in this series. I haven't read the first two, so I can't compare it to those. However, the idea behind this is amazing. The book takes the reader through the life of a lion as if it from National Geographic. There are no words in the book at all; everything is conveyed through images. This can work to the advantage of the story, but there are times where things get muddled.
The art is fantastic, which it should be since it is everything to the book. The creators are able to create some very intense emotional moments. Things are tough for these animals and it shows.
For all that, the book didn't really wow me. It sort of felt like I was reading an adaptation of The Lion King that was stripped of its plot. I still enjoyed the book, but it could have used something more.
