The Boys: Dear Becky

As a sequel this was great, enjoyed reading the Boys and this was equally good

I was initially going to give Dear Becky 4 stars, but I realised that was only in comparison to all the other entries in The Boys universe, which are all 5-star, to my mind. However, that's not a fair comparison, and Dear Becky deserves its own rating. I really enjoyed reading it, so that has to be a 5-star rating.If the question is whether it adds anything crucial to the overall story of The Boys, then I'd have to say it doesn't particularly. It's a story that didn't really need to be written, if I'm honest. I mean, you can understand why it was, given the success of the Netflix show. It's a background story for Butcher at its heart, and also brings you up to speed with the current lives of Annie and Hughie. But it won't change your feelings or opinions of any of these characters.But that's why I think it's like Downloadable Content for your favourite console game. When you've finished a game you really enjoyed you want more of the same, so you get some DLC. It's usually just more missions in exactly the same vein. And that's what Dear Becky is.However, the point is that this is a chance to see Billy Butcher and the gang up to their old shenanigans and doing what they do best, and I'm always really happy to have that opportunity.

I loved the boys series of comics, especially the twist at the end. Was just gutted the didn’t go into any detail becky was raped, just that she kept butcher in line. What the f des jings mean? Im about to google it now.

It felt great to hop back into the boys after all this time. The book left me wanting more, Garth Ennis satirical views on the world today are just what we need, I could have kept reading but I suppose all good books leave you feeling that way. Going into this you know its extra content patching pieces of the story together a little more than in the original run, if you go in expecting to read something brand new and completely removed from the boys you are in the wrong mind set, its the boys though so how could you not want more ?

A sequel to the Boys saga about Becky. If you enjoyed the comic series or the TV version this is worth reading. It is very graphic and definitely for adults only.

Good little sequel to the boys it really shows how being around violence can have long term effects on your life wee Hugeie and butcher two of the best comic book characters invented shame peg was to old to play him in the tv series

A great continuation of the original Boys series. Now on TV with Karl urban doing the most ridiculous Cockney accent since Dick Van Dyke! Buy this book and all other Garth Ennis stuff - he's marvelous!

Good end to The Boys story. Worth buying if you’ve read the rest of the books
