Elizabeth Graeber's whimsical illustrations are the reason to experience this book; they're expressive and light-hearted. Her selections of facts and famous redheads are fun, but there was little that was a surprise. Some of the choices of people to highlight would hopefully be different today, as there are some decidedly unsavoury people illustrated.

A Visually Dense Comic Adaptation
3 stars
I've had this comic adaptation of The Communist Manifesto in my collection for years but couldn't get into the right mood to read it before now. I love comics and particularly enjoy adaptations, but Rowson's art has a denseness and muddled approach that distracted more than enhanced the text for me. I wanted to wholeheartedly enjoy this book, but I don't think I could recommend it either as an introduction to Marx or as a treat for those of us who admire his work.

Great Gothic D&D
4 stars
Tanya Huff's take on gloomy adventure in D&D's Ravenloft setting really hits the mark. It's bleak, but has fascinating characters and a plot that moves at a satisfying pace.

Fun, Weird Urban Fantasy
3 stars
This is a fun urban fantasy that has all the hallmarks of Huff's writing. The presence of incest and issues of consent should definitely be flagged, as those have an oversized role in the novel. It's not Huff's best, but it's executed well.
