Just wasn't really feeling it at the moment; may return later...

Just really can't get into it.

I didn't expect for it to be so sad.

I've never read his work before. I thought I'd give this a go, since I've heard a lot about him. It was much darker than I had expected, but still fun and definitely wierd.

Fascinating novel that I definitely want to return to at some point in the future.

The artwork was absolutely beautiful. I loved the way that art style and panel layout worked to tell multilayered stories. The way the artist drew hair and layed everything out was also wonderful.

There were parts I liked and parts that I didn't. Overall, I would say I enjoyed the book, but I thought the writing style was too flowerly. I felt that there could have been a little more horror, but I guess it was secretly a spooky romance, maybe?

The narrator singing the little taunts of the rabbits just doesn't work for me. I'll just read the book itself instead of listening to it.

I really love the Golden Compass and was excited to try out the graphic novel adaptation. There were parts I thought worked well and parts that didn't -- which I guess is pretty typical for graphic novel adaptations. The art was beautiful and the action scenes were really brought to life here. I wish the chracters were given more time to grow, but I know that it's easier to show in writing rather than in art. Some pages were a little too text heavy for my preference, but it's made up for with beautiful art that streches across entire pages.

I must have known at some point this was horror, but I had forgotten it by the time I started reading. So, I was a bit surprised by some of the more horrifying stories in this collection at first. These were probably some of the strangest and darkest stories I've read so far and I really...I don't know if "enjoyed it" is the correct term, but I certainly appreciated them.
