I thought it was really funny. I can't wait for the next Diary Of A Wimpy kid. The book is filled with comedy and detail. The characters are amazing. The story is spectacular because of the dialouge.

Six years and almost 1000 pages have all led to this epic finale! With six of Ramona's seven evil exes dispatched, it should be time for Scott Pilgrim to face Gideon Graves, the biggest and baddest of her former beaus. But didn't Ramona take off at the end of Book 5? Shouldn't that let Scott off the hook? Maybe it should, maybe it shouldn't, but one thing is for certain all of this has been building to Scott Pilgrim's Finest ...             Tumor Chapter 114 reviews Archaia Studios Press, 2009 Great book!

In fact, just buy all his books!!             Alice In Wonderland97 reviews Lewis Carroll CreateSpace, 2010 The Artwork Really Brings This Classic to Life! Almost everyone knows the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland. They've either read the book or seen the movies but none of the former publications quite bring Lewis Carroll's story to life like Camille Rose Garcia. The artwork in this story is fantastic!

This is the funniest comic I've read, and best in the Scott Pilgrim series. Now keep in mind that there are not too many humorous comics out there, but I doubt anyone can top "Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness." It's just as if Bryan Lee O'Malley snorted a giant line of clever and went hulk on the entire volume. I laughed at every page. Even my ...             Diary of a Wimpy Kid 5 Jeff Kinney Amulet Books, 2010             Cover Run: The DC Comics Art of Adam Hughes (Adam Hughes Cover to Cover)8 reviews DC Comics, 2010 Curse you, Adam Hughes! Adam Hughes is a better artist than you. Adam Hughes is a better artist than me. Adam Hughes is depressingly, embarrassingly good, and he's making everyone else look bad. Adam Hughes must be stopped. So don't any of you buy this book! If you buy this book, Adam Hughes might know how good he is. He might keep drawing, and he might even, (through some dastardly witchcraft,) become EVEN ...             Stormbreaker (Stormbreaker the Movie)305 reviews Antony Johnston Walker Books Ltd, 2006 great ice breaker this book was a great start to an amazing serise. the only thing that could have been beter was more suspence             Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Volume 1 (The Twilight Saga)131 reviews Stephenie Meyer Yen Press, 2010 Great Illustrations Bought this for my son.

The quality is top-notch. The pages are nice and thick, the printing brings the amazing drawings to life, and the coffee table size of it is perfect for the content, which is incredible. I've never seen a single source that gives more in-depth, behind the scenes information on the series than this book. And it's narrated by the creators themselves! If you're a fan of the ...             Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood197 reviews Marjane Satrapi Pantheon, 2004 A powerful and gripping graphic novel I was amazed by the power of this graphic novel. I finished it within one afternoon; I was completely hooked after the first page. The style of the illustrations and the storyline surrounding major historical events happening to one family unit reminded me a lot of Art Spiegelman's "Maus I" and "Maus II" (also excellent and powerful reads). But this novel has its own message and voice, that are ...             Odd and the Frost Giants44 reviews Neil Gaiman HarperCollins, 2009 just fabulous _Odd and the Frost Giants_ is a delightful, light fantasy.

The family happens to have a history of thievery, and Artemis takes advantage of his position in the most peculiar way: by going after Irish myths, which just so happen to contain a certain amount of truth. One of which is the existence of elves and "LEPrecon" gold. Things didn't go the way ...             Stardust412 reviews Neil Gaiman HarperCollins, 2009 Wonderfully imagnitive I first read this book a few years ago. I asked a friend, a manager of a bookstore what her favourite books or authors were to expand upon my reading list. She recommended Stardust and Neverwhere, both by Neil Gaiman. Both became quick favourites though very different and both left a lasting impression on me. Stardust is the story of Tristan Thorne, who is unaware of his true heritage at the ...              search for books airbender, animated, arctic, artemis, avatar, barnaby, blackest, chapter, childhood, comics, finest, giants, graphic, graveyard, hughes, incident, infinite, lantern, persepolis, pilgrim, precious, sadness, series, stardust, stormbreaker, troublemaker, twilight, versus, volume, wonderland books:    randomly chosen book: The M14 Complete Assembly Guide home  impressum - about us
