The Sandman, Volume 7: Brief Lives by Neil Gaiman
The Sandman, Volume 7: Brief Lives

Davey929, July 7, 2009

The art, the ideas, the emotion...this is my favorite Sandman, though I admit to loving the others as well. Delirium is a delight to observe, and her ramblings never grow old to me. I wish I had the money to buy the whole collection, but I'd choose this one over any of the others if I had to.

Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings by Christopher Moore
Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings

You have to let this book grow on you. At times it gets so strange and weird that you feel like you should just give up, put it down, and get a normal book, but it is completely worth it.

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore
A Dirty Job

Davey929, August 26, 2008

This is the best Christopher Moore I have read. It's bizarre and tangental and hilarious, and it still deals with death in a way that is both strange and sweet. The characters are, as always, colorful, and I found myself wanting to know more after I turned the last page (the sign of a very good read).

Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story by Christopher Moore
Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story

Davey929, August 26, 2008

Just another vampire romance? Hardly! It's funny and sarcastic, with characters who are just strange enough to be real. Not my favorite Christopher Moore, but It's pretty close.

Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess' Stardust: Being a Romance Within The Realms of Faerie by Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess
Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess' Stardust: Being a Romance Within The Realms of Faerie

Davey929, July 7, 2008

As always with Neil Gaiman, he takes an old idea, changes one or two pieces, and makes it utterly his own. Even if you've seen the movie (which, I was surprised to find, was just as good as the book), read Neil Gaiman's story. You'll see everything in a completely new way in this picture book for adults.
