Today a bearded stranger gave me this book for free on the subway. As it turns out, he's the author, though you wouldn't know it from the author's picture at the back of the book, because that guy has no hair. I don't think he knew that I'm a librarian when he gave me the book but nothing's impossible, I guess!

This book is a kind of bonkers collection of stories that include conversations, riddles, and paint chips. And there's a dinosaur! And what I guess is what Marilyn Monroe would look like as a zombie. I love the art style, and the facial expressions, and the dialogue made me chuckle a bit. Plus it was free and my phone'd just died so it was pretty much the best timing to get a free thing to read from a stranger! Thanks, Stephen Burger.

My sister was Stephen Burger's co-worker and ever since she moved away, TALK! has been sitting on my bookshelf. Finally gave it a read today and I found it clever and quirky.

Excellent artwork and an off-beat premise make this graphic novel star-worthy. If you are looking for another superhero comic, this is not it. Burger is taking his graphic story-telling style in a different direction, one which tests the format's ability to tell a more down-to-earth narrative (often, not exactly the same as a story). It is a worthwhile experiment.

Very enjoyable read. Excellent artwork. I am looking forward to another instalment, Mr. Burger
