Heartbreaking, breathtaking, fascinating.. truly a masterpiece of modern film making. A great, sad story of a lonely imaginative girl and the life during the Spanish civil war. The effects alone make this movie worth watching, but it works on every level. Dialogue, cinematography is incredible.. If you have seen it, watch it again and turn on your family and friends....IF YOU HAVEN'T, BUY OR RENT AND WATCH IT NOW. You will not be disappointed.

I have looked forward to Burned for so long. It was fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about this book. Absolutely loved it.

Mac is back and she's still awesome. Still dealing with some issues. Barrons is still looking after her, not that he wants anyone to know that. But he will always watch after Mac. Barrons is more and more awesome. Mac is amazing. Dani is... well, that's complicated. And I do love the complications.

Ryodan... At the end of Iced, I was not in the Ryodan fan club. I love him as a character, but was moving him to the "bad guy" column. He's back in the "good guy" column and... he's firmly rooted there. Not only is he good... he does most of his good things behind the scenes and lets people think the worst of him. Okay... he's in the "good guy" column with a star by his name. I like Ryodan a lot more now.

Lohr... oh my... I love Lohr. I really do. And I love  the implication that Jo will be with Lohr. It's great.  We'll see what happens there.

Kat.. well, Kat is in a mess. She's coming into her own. I'm glad of that. Will her long time boyfriend be the one for her after she undergoes all these changes? I don't know.

Fade cracks me up and Kasteo... oh... why won't you talk?

This is a terrific cast of characters in a fantastic world where anything could happen and some times does.

The Keltars... what a hot bunch of fellas! And that accent. ohhhhhh

Christian. I cannot imagine what will become of him. He's tougher than I thought... he could go either way at this point, but I'm pulling for him to be a good guy. A powerful good guy.

Glad Barrons got to wreak a little revenge. Good for him.

And I was stunned by the last scene. I had thought the Keltars could not die. And now... we'll have to see.

This is just fantastic and I look forward to the next book in this series. This is one of those series I read over and over. It's that good.

Absolutely wonderful in almost every way: the art, the stories, the characters.  One of the best depictions of both kids AND parents in comics.  Best wishes to Richard Thompson as he tackles Parkinson's.

I have had to add a new shelf to GoodReads, called "6 Stars", as I think this is the BEST, most fun, well-developed characterly, fast-paced delightful, book I have read for years.. Oh how I wish there is to be a sequel.. I must now also check out several probably factual facets he mentions.. Lithuania when my great-great grandparents also found sanctuary; and the incidents that take place in the Antartic.. Haunted by the phrase ' ran out of dogs'...

Not sure how to spell it, but to me, it's a tour de force, a great first watching of Technicolour... The wonder of seeing 'Tommy'..Monty Python...

Jamie,
Well, I hardly know what to say. I had only intended to read the first chapter cause I had some work to do but I just couldn't put it down. So here I am about four hours later and I just have to agree with the other reviews on this site... Your sensitivity of character development, understanding of the complexity of emotion, especially all the baggage that comes along with it, was wonderful. I laughed, I cried ..went through a whole host of emotions... I hate black and white depictions of people because even the "bad" guys hide in plain sight so they never appear all bad to everyone.... And while the "evil-doer" in the story was painted pretty black, understandably so, the other characters were not .. Well done. I wish this could be made into a movie. I could totally see this done and done very well for the big screen.. I was practically doing it in my head while I was reading.. Great job. Thank you for the very satisfying journey.

The Stuff of Legend can be summed up with one word: AWESOME!  If you look closely at the reviews, all the bad ones are about the binding, nothing about the work itself.  The work is flawless.  The premise is so very original: taking place in the 1940s, a young boy is taken into "the dark" by the monsters in his closet, and his toys must now band up to save him.  The dialogue flows wonderfully...flawlessly, actually.  Each character develops into a complete portrait in such a short period of time, as are the relationships between different characters.  Every frame is succinct and gripping.  I was so compelled by this book, I felt like I was watching  movie more than I was reading a comic book.  This is by far one of the best, and certainly the most enjoyable, fantasy works I've ever read.  The originality and premise of this story are refreshing and inspiring.  I am so surprised no one has tried to make this into a movie yet.  I recommend this to everyone! :) Don't take a second thought, read it! :)

An amazingly wonderful story for any age.

This novel started off as something I would read with my younger son, who really enjoys the fantasy Harry Potter style books.
As we read more and more, I found myself very invested into the story, and the characters. So many of the themes in the book resonate so well with everyone. Bullying, not fitting in, feelings of self doubt, being sad and alone.
I was absolutely amazed at the beautiful descriptions and storytelling which had me imagining every twist and turn of the book. This has some deeply emotional parts that might even choke up a parent, so... no shame.. Just saying.

I would absolutely recommend this fantastic novel by David Pedersen, and all of his other books as well, such as the Angst series. Pick this up today!

"Guilty Pleasures" was a wildly entertaining book..it gripped me immediately and held me tight..I m telling you I could not walk away from this book..it was just sooooo good! I have read other books similar to this, but none have come even close to being as brilliant..I am eagerly anticipating moving on to the other books in this series. I highly recommend this as a must read..however, be forewarned, if you find violence and a bit of gore upsetting, this may not be the book for you.
