It’s a little dull in the middle, but it’s a good book overall.
I expected more from the end though! I’m left longing for more.
The perfect finish, really.
I'm so glad this was in all issues bound in a single volume. I wouldn't have gone back for later issues after books one and two, I don't think. But it got so much better.
Bone is a great epic fantasy. What makes it work so well is Jeff Smith's superb balance between the intimate, personal stories of the characters and the grand scale of defeating evil. Because of this, we engage with the story lines and are pulled along into the grand story arc and feel the victories and defeats much more strongly than we otherwise would have.
Absolutely amazing...hilarious, sad, entertaining, great illustrations, amazing story. Well, okay, the story sometimes dips into the absurd, but that only makes it more enjoyable. Highly recommended for any age, really. LOVED IT.
