Toast

I definitely identify with the main character, Neil. I had to deal with a very similar situation with the Harry Potter series when I was a kid in private school. Luckily, we had a very passionate librarian as well. I found Neil's musical education an odd addition to the story, but that's just me I suppose. I wish there had been a little more of a story between Neil and that cute girl in his class, the one who made all her dresses (I can't remember her name). And I would've LOVED to see more about Danny, but I understand that he was a secondary character.
All in all, I enjoyed it, like revisiting a part of my past.

OH MY GOD! This book was AMAZING! It was creepy and beautiful and everything I could ever want! I tore through it in one sitting, I wouldn't even put it down to talk to a friend.

The Nesting Place has to be my favorite of the collection of stories.

Every story sent chills down my spine.

And every page was beautiful. How she can make such scary creatures both horrifying and magnificent is a testament to her skill.

I am going to FORCE every one of my friends to read this book.

The art is very nice, I would read anything if was illustrated by her. But the story flows awkwardly and ends like they were running out of pages and had to wrap it up fast. And then there were a few things that were never really explained. It felt like the graphic novel equivalent of Lost, more questions than answers. Still, all in all, an okay read, nice to look at at, and I would recommend it to my friends.

This was a pretty interesting story. I would've like to have had a little more back story for the present day main character, Tara. Did her house burn down by accident? Or was it some creepy incident linked to the mines or Asa Curry? And I would've like to hear about her mother more.
The switching back and forth from past to present was cool. And the main characters, Tara (present day) and Josephine (past) were very likeable.

All in all, a good book. Middle of the pack of graphic novels I've read so far.
