Review: Interesting mix of graphics and rhyming story

Note: I was given this book as a gift from the author for an honest review.  I believe this is a first time author - and I kept that in mind as I read the book.  I love encouraging new authors.  But, this author needs to work a little more on the storyline - I believe he has a good story to tell.  I also enjoyed the graphics to go along with the story.Realizing this was the first in a series, I was still a little surprised that there was so little story mixed with the graphics.  The graphics were good and no problem viewing them on the Kindle Fire.  The story line seemed to focus more on making it rhyme than fleshing out the characters and story.  The book should be clearly labeled more adult than tweens - adult topics like impotence, multiple partners, mob hit, etc.  Actually, by the end of the book I was engaged into the story line and will get the rest in the series.  But I also felt there was so much more that could be told - way too much focus on rhyming and not on storyline.  The author has a webpage as well - and I checked it out and went through the different pages.  Hopefully he'll flesh out the web along with the novel as he continues the storyline in future chapters.  I really liked the concept of web as well as novel to get his story across - it just needs more.  The book isn't bad, I just wanted more flesh in the story and characters. I have enjoyed many books written as rhyming poems, and this needs to have the author work on the words as much as he has worked on the graphics.  The 87 pages go extremely quickly when there might be only a couple sentences on a page. And some pages only contain one sentence - that really don't make sense to the story but fit a graphic.  Lots of potential here.  Especially tying in the webpage.  Hopefully the author will be encouraged to keep improving the book while continuing the graphics and web.  I'm interested.
