I read these in 2-3 sittings to my son as we are both big TMNT fans. They're the exact stories (right down to the dialogue and art) as the show episodes. For kids who crave repetition and predictability that's actually pretty awesome and it a great learning-to-read strategy. For grown ups who enjoy ninja turtles, it's not so fun. For him: A. For me: D. For me as a mom watching him laugh and read: A+.
Like anything else this obviously has its flaws, but dammit I'm just too in love with all of it to notice or care about any of them.
This is definitely for younger readers and has a YA feel. Art is beautiful but a little sketchy for my taste. Really enjoy have a young female Muslim voice. Perspective I've never had as a reader (maybe a novel once?) and it's especially refreshing coming from a superhero comic.
I did not love Cliff Chiang's artistic style in the Wonder Woman Blood/Guts/Iron/War/Flesh/Bones volumes/series, though it grew on me - but I am obsessed with his work in Paper Girls. Just swooned by it. It's possibly retroactively making me like the wonder woman art more. Vaughn is great here too. I've heard that the story is too out there or confusing, but I'm loving it. Space and time travel with teenage paper deliver girls is (apparently) sort of my jam.
Can I just stay up all night reading comic books? These make me want to.
I love Pratchett but admit his quirky style is sometimes a bit exhausting for me to read - so I love the audio book versions. Perfect.
There's something calming in the redundancy of Nora Roberts novels: 6 people, 3 couples, magic, bad witch/vamp/sorcerer, usually Ireland.
