| 4 stars if you're really into organizing - fantastic photos and lots of tips in here! But the writing is only okay. Anyway, this is not a book for reading, really, it's more of a reference for ideas and inspiration! A good book for before bedtime, if ...more | |

| The writing is very basic if you've done any previous research on dreams, their interpretation, lucid dreaming, etc. - hence the 3 stars. However, the artwork is really detailed and beautiful throughout and rates at least 4 stars, if not more! This w ...more | |

| A stunningly gorgeous book, full of facts about insects, further reading resources, and entomological history. Did you know that flies are the second biggest source of pollination (after bees)? Or how revered dragonflies have been in cultures through ...more | |

| I've read a couple of Oates' books, this one was my favorite so far, due to the intense attention paid to the inner lives of the characters. Oates really builds a world here, with inner monologue in addition to dialogue and detail - incredibly impres ...more | |

Pluses: a fast read but truly creepy with good details, mostly believable (of course, if you are into supernatural horror). I like the epistolary narrative. Minuses: more than a bit derivative, with the occasional illustration that didn't add much to ...more |

| A graphic memoir unlike any I've ever read, this is famous for good reason! There's a lot packed in here, from the familial to the literary, and the detail is astounding, both in the illustration and the life story. A classic in the genre, perhaps th ...more | |

| I wanted to love this - instead, I liked parts of it a lot. It was tough to decide whether it garnered 4 stars or only 3. Pluses: a great premise, with the world-building you'd expect, and a focus on what makes humans both horrible and wonderful. Fas ...more | |

| It's hard to categorize these - yes, they have Florida in common as setting, which is powerful, mysterious, erotic, sinister, threatening, disastrous, gorgeous - the state is shown here in all its contradictory colors, and their impact on the psyche. ...more | |

“After Years
Today, from a distance, I saw you
walking away, and without a sound
the glittering face of a glacier
slid into the sea. An ancient oak
fell in the Cumberlands, holding only
a handful of leaves, and an old woman
scattering corn to her chickens looked up
for an instant. At the other side
of the galaxy, a star thirty-five times
the size of our own sun exploded
and vanished, leaving a small green spot
on the astronomer's retina
as he stood on the great open dome
of my heart with no one to tell.”
