I feel like if you were to first read a graphic novel, you might prefer a memoir, though, to this sort of read. But it's fun!<br /><br />Jenny- I think I could see that perspective, too. I enjoyed the story, but was frustrated at the way it ended, so if I didn't enjoy it, I think it would be easy to get bored. I don't think you should read books you don't like if you don't want to!<br /><br />Helen- I started with a graphic memoir and really enjoyed it. It was very different than I expected.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-33075434294800162862010-03-23T15:06:14.033-05:002010-03-23T15:06:14.033-05:00I still haven't read any graphic novels yet. ...I still haven't read any graphic novels yet.

I know what you mean about getting caught up and invested in a series though, it can be hard to find subsequent editions and it does indeed set a dangerous precedence! Very cool review, Aarti! I think this series would be just perfect for my kids as well as myself!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-1354756247585179222010-03-23T09:50:07.667-05:002010-03-23T09:50:07.667-05:00Shweta- They cost a lot everywhere, I think!

Yes, this one is adorable and I got it for free, so good all around ;-)<br /><br />Carrie- Yes, I don't have kids but adults have often told me they love this series, so here we go!<br /><br />Lightheaded- I like the colored versions, too, but they're hard to collect at a used bookstore, so when I saw the complete one, I grabbed it.<br /><br />Blodeuedd- That it is :-)<br /><br />bitsy- I always thought manga was traditional graphic novels, actually!<br /><br />Vivienne- I had only read the graphic memoir up to now, too, except for several years ago, reading a fantasy one.<br /><br />Andreea- There are a lot!
