The climactic scene at the dam is the most original and powerful things I have ever scene in a graphic novel.

Turning water into gold. Excellent!

So, King Solomon cut down all the trees in Lebanon. I like the ecology references popping up in this section.

How on earth can Craig Thompson know this much about Muslim and Arab culture, history, society? His knowledge is seemingly infinite. What a polished, epic story he offers us. Also, I am enamored with the main character. She is sweet, and drawn with so much sensuality.

Epic in size and scope. I love the black and white art. She is beautiful and magnetic.
