I knew about the Fables series by Bill Willingham but never picked any up, not being a huge fan of graphic novels. My disclaimer: there is nothing wrong with graphic novels; I love the art and stories and appreciate the talent that goes into creating them, but just never got into them so much. So, w...
I wanted to like this book. I've been considering getting into the Fables comics more, and thought this would be a nice way to introduce myself when I saw it at a library book sale. Well... it was an introduction. And the idea behind the story wasn't terrible. but I'm not sure the story knew what it...
Peter & Max is a stand alone novel set in the Fables-universe of author Bill Willingham. Fans of Fables will be familiar with the folk and fairy tale personalities that show up in the story. However, those who haven't read the series need not worry. You don't need to be a fan of even very familiar w...
It's been a while since I picked up a Fables book, so it felt great to be back in Fabletown again. One of the most fascinating parts of this book was when Willingham gave us insight into Max's mind as he transformed into one of the creepiest villains I've ever read. I guess the only downside to this...
Overall, this wasn't bad. I certainly prefer the comics, but that might have simply been because this novel was about characters I'd never met in the Fables history. Sure, Bigby and Snow, Red and Clara made brief appearances, but make no mistake, this was about Peter and his brother, Max.I wasn't ...
This was incredible! I've never read any of the graphic novels, so everything I know about Fabletown comes from this book. I loved the story. It was an inspired retelling of a classic story.And the narrative performance by Wil Wheaton in the audio book was superb. I'm not sure I would have enjoyed t...
I actually borrowed this one before I read my first Fables graphic Novel. And after reading this book I sure want to read those graphic novels. Because the world is wonderful.This is then a novel based on the graphic novels. It is a standalone and it is about Peter and Max. The book takes place in t...
The cover of the book has a quote from Johathan Levi, Los Angeles Times Book Review - "An original - an exquisitely gentle and unsentimental tale on the evolution of love." I would say the operative word here is "unsentimental". While I was completely absorbed by the "Planet Earth" type descriptions...
Like the comic, I love the premise but hate the way it was written. Just bores me.The book itself, though, is beautiful. The illustrations are done in a detailed classic children's book style.
My admiration for Fables has been chronicled several times in this blog, as recently as last month, so I won’t go in to what the stories are, though I will talk about how this one ties in to the canon of the comic book series. This time, we follow Peter, the famous piper who picked a pickled pepper...
