Sin City: Booze, Broads and Bullets - Writing Style

The writing style of the graphic novel Sin City: Booze, Broads and Bullets is not very good. This book is very picture based and there are not a lot of words. There was a chapter in the book, Silent Night, that was all pictures and there was no words at all in this chapter. The actual text in the book would take up about 17-20 pages if it was all on consecutive pages. The text in this book does not tell the story in the different chapters. The story is told through the pictures and the text is used to tell the audience what the characters are thinking. There is barely any dialogue and there is no narration.

I think that the writing style of this book would have been better if there was more dialogue. The stories would have been easier to understand and follow with the other books if there was more dialogue to tell the reader what happened before, or in the other books. The pictures in this book are very detailed and graphic so that they fill the need for words. i think that the book would have been better if there was more text and less picture based story-telling. Overall I think that the writing style in the graphic novel Sin City: Booze, Broads and Bullets was not very creative.
