Got my hands on the sequel to Morbito: Guardian of the Spirit since I loved it and the anime so much, I wanted to see what other adventures Balsa has gotten herself into. I adored this book just as much as the first. Balsa is still the strong, intelligent badass as she was in the first. The new ch...
Moss’s juvenile biography of Kenichi Zenimura does a nice job of presenting his life, while focusing on the baseball diamond he created while in a US internment camp during WWII. I really liked Yuko Shimizu’s art as well. I suspect this might work a bit better for kids who already know about the int...
It's like Inception and Harry Potter invited a Choose Your Own Adventure book for a sleepover. I'm not completely sold on this series, mostly because it makes the reader do all the imaginative work. I also don't like the main character, so it's been tough for me to muddle through it all. Lizzie Hexa...
I preferred this to the last volume. I am still undecided whether I like this series as a whole. Good and bad. I love the literary nods and the concept of metafiction. How can I not as such a bibliophile? I find the imagination of this series infectious, but there is a lot of meanness with the story...
The Unwritten strikes me as being somehow 'impressive'. It's hard to clarify what I mean, but the idea of it and the execution was very well done. It delves into the very fruitful literary territory of metafiction, where reality and fiction intersect. I find I truly enjoy metafiction, probably beca...
I bought this from Amazon for my kindle because I saw that either currently or soon there is going to be an Unwritten/Fables crossover. I’ve been reading Fables on and off for years so I want to know about this one when the crossover comes out.Skipping the written introduction, I hate reading intr...
An interesting concept, for sure. The protagonist, Tom Taylor, is the inspiration for his father's Harry Potter-like books. Every day he has to deal with the fact that people confuse him with his fictional counterpart and he just wants to live his own life (though admittedly he does capitulate on hi...
This hovers right between 3 and 4 stars for me. I can't help but think of TV's Archer when reading Tommy Taylor, and maybe that is why I can't hardly take this graphic novel seriously. I think the concept is cool, of stories coming to life in the real world. But then that leads me to why Bill Willin...
