This is a great little book.

I actually disagree. I was pretty frustrated with this book. I thought it seemed confused as to its tone, and couldn't make up its mind whether it wanted to be a more serious story or a comedy. I would have preferred the more serious approach, only because the anachronistic comedy fell flat for me.

I want to check this out.

really?

wow.
I liked the little gags and facial expressions to relive a little tension from this story. its pretty serious story of course, but I like the humor that Kyle brings to it. I'm a big fan of Plastic man and his cartoon-strip style that I thought works well.

Sure I would have loved a serious book, but with Kyle I always expect some comedy, and I thought this was fun as a more family freindly book.

Read it a couple years ago. It was my first real exposure to Kyle Baker, and led me to getting more of his books. I Die At Midnight and You Are Here are also very good if you haven't read them. Undercover Genie is also very good. It's more of a collection of short stories, strips, and sketches. I'm sure there are a lot more that I haven't seen yet or some that I'm forgetting because they're sitting at my parents' house now.
