Customer Reviews

Good Read

The Good: The plot wasn't really half bad, and I certainly found myself rereading the book. Most of the characters are at least fairly well thought out, and I adore the Man in the Moon. The art is unique, with a sort of haphazard look, but it is still polished enough to look fine published. The story was well executed, and it did have some nice twists. Yes, it's a grim tale, but it has nice touches of dark humor and some cute moments. The Bad: It's not the most original plotline: a boy commits suicide and finds himself in the land of the dead, trying to find his way. It also seemed to have gore at odd points; it never quite seemed appropriate. The Ugly: I don't want to say much, but I felt the ending did not fit at all; it came entirely out of left field, and not in a good way. I know it seems a little odd,(and elsewhere there are a lot of negative reviews of the product) but despite it's flaws, this book is thoroughly enjoyable, and well worth rereading. While I feel it could have been a bit more developed, it certainly was worth the money and the artwork is simply gorgeous.

a bit morbid

i was attracted to this book by the subject matter and drawings when browsing in the bookstore. so made the impulse to buy. i hadn't gone wrong also if are like me and love books on either death, suicide or just dark matter. then this would be a perfect read. althrough i found some to be a tiny bit confusing, especially towards the end also it just wasn't long enough. yet all in all i think this is a pretty decent graphic novel.
