I felt like the characters and the action could have been expanded on a bit.

A memoir about Georges's relationship with her cute demon dog. This book made me cry a bit. Maybe it's because I identify with the experience having a very loving dog that can't be trusted around others.

Retro-futurist mystery comic featuring budget James Bond Villains, an alternate-history kind of "NASA for the people", and so much more.... But don't take my word for it!

Overall, I liked this one, but it felt a little rushed. I wish they'd developed more of the history and more of the Pakistan parts. I wanted to see more about the partition, and where the Khans come from, but maybe they're holding back on those elements for more *gasp* reveals in the future.

I thought this book was cute. I liked the idea of a town co-existing matter-of-factly with all it's ghosts. I would be interested in seeing that concept developed in a more twilight zone sort of direction, but I liked what Telgemeier did with it.

One of my fave sf books, mostly because of the world that Mieville made, and the ideas he tangentially drops (my favorite one is ripples radiating backwards in time from catastrophes still in the future). Iron Council is thus great exercise for my imagination, as I try to get my head around the bizarre imagery and concepts. This wasn't even my first (or second) time reading Iron Council and I couldn't put it down.

Kind of a "Tehran Sex & the City" (thanks Jennifer). I like Satrapi's style, and I liked many of her grandmother's lines. (I hate to bring it back to men, but are the men at the lunch in the beginning really taking a nap? Or are they sharing their own gossip? or just listening in on the women's more interesting conversations?)

Thumbs up. I wished we'd spent a little more time on the election storyline.

Kind of like a novella. There's a little bit of sci-fi in here. Successfully breaks the "show don't tell" rule.

This is the kind of book that you notice new things about every time you read it. I also liked the modern world filtered through a magical medievalist prism.
