Imagine my surprise when I discover that one of my favorite childhood films is based on a wonderful children's book. While the book and film and two separate things, both manage to be very entertaining and endearing.

The story here is more episodic, each new chapter telling about a different delivery. Honestly, I really didn't mind that it was different. Kiki is still the innocent, happy girl off on her journey to grow with her voice of reason cat, Jiji. It was nice to read something a little simple with all the tomes I've had to read lately.

It's a shame that I think this is the only one in this series that is translated in English. Well, better start learning Japanese.

It really hurts me to say that this book is really just okay and nothing more. The art is beautiful, don't get me wrong. I love the dragon designs and how wonderful everything looks. It's just the story is...nothing.

There was no conflict, no beginning middle or end. I never really got to know the characters, just glimpses. I couldn't even tell you about the world they live in, or how everything functions. It just seems like vague fantasy land.

The only thing that makes this book suffer is its length. It's only seventy pages, which doesn't give it enough time for a proper story or character development. I would have loved to see a more in depth version of this world. Instead, I just got a single second glance.

This book was FLAT OUT AMAZING. The perfect amount of sweetness, emotion, and drama.

I love the art style, and the designs of the dresses are absolutely stunning.

I can't believe a story like this is finally being told. Comics have come so far in telling stories of "othered" people in a way no other medium has come close to accomplishing. I'm so happy of the generation that will look to this story as inspiration and confirmation that they are valid and free to express themselves.

I find it amazing that, when I was younger, I had no interest in Wonder Woman. She didn't seem that interesting, and her powers didn't really stand out. As an adult, however, I've come to see Diana's strength, honor, and importance.

This book was just fantastic, between the character dynamics, the action, the twists, the representation. It was a story that I wanted to finish and not to finish at the same time. Leigh Bardugo's name has been hyped up in the YA genre for a good reason, as her writing and pacing make the story shine. The inner conflicts Diana faces makes her plight so much nobler and her arc all the more interesting.

If I have any gripes it may just be that one element of the story just drops out of it entirely and isn't really resolved, though that could just come from me reading a tad too quickly. Either way, this book brings a wonderful new dimension to Diana. I really hope Bardugo isn't finished with her just yet.

The entire time I read this book I was constantly thinking of how much it reminded me of Goosebumps. Corny writing, a little simplistic with some spooky happenings and a twist. Granted, the twist here isn't as fun or original as some of Stine's, but it may grab some kids' attention.

While I could relate to David's situation, it didn't grab me at all. This book is odd in that it's being rushed and padded out at the same time. I could see this story being only 150 pages long or drawn out to 300 if you wanted to go deeper into some elements.

Also, I have no idea why the villain WAS the villain. I don't want to go into spoilers, but his motivation bothered/confused me. The author notes that he wanted to "fix" this historical character's death, but I really question the necessity of that.

Despite my disappointment with it, I'm glad it didn't take so long to read. Speedier readers could finish it in one sitting, though they may find the story leaving them within the next couple of hours.
