Watchman paperback review
This book is a phenomenal read. I had a really hard time putting it down from the moment I got it and finished it in two days. I highly recommend this book, both for its graphic style and for its story. It's a little eerie how this cold war era book rings true today, ...

Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)
Janet Evanovich
St. Martin's Press

LOVE PLUM-
This series is my absolute favorite "relax and read". Such great characters and always makes me laugh- perhaps after 14 there are just so many high expectations that fans get overly critical. Every person I recommend this just adores Stephanie Plum. Keep em coming ...

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinny

requiered reading
This is a very interesting tale about police state and the consequences it has on its citizens. Drawings are cute while the story moves at an adequate pace. It is also remarkable the component of rebellion against oppression. I would recomend it for teenagers from 14 ...

An Equally Enjoyable Sequel!
Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"-series are an excellent way to "trick" people into becoming readers. The books read fast, they're very funny (sometimes laugh out loud funny), the pictures liven up every page, and they can appeal to a wide age group. Adults ...

In addition to seeing the beagle adopt multiple personas, this volume also sees the appearance of what would be Schulz's most controversial major character: Franklin. In Charles Schulz's The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970, Woodstock ...

It's a killer joke!
This is one of the most intriguing origins that have been created for the Clown Prince of Crime. This, along with the Jack Napier origin, is definitely a strong one. The artwork is nicely done, and the dialogue is smart and witty. The dark nature of this graphic novel ...

Joker really are wild....
This is dark, creepy and so much fun. Got me hooked and ready for more. Those who are interested in the much more bitter side of any graphic novel will get a lovely little kick out of this one. I had to read it twice to take in all of the amazing details both written ...
