Tina Fleck tasha — yawn...

Liza Bastos lizabbischoff — The first Joyce Carol Oates book I've been able to get through (her stories are haunting!). A family drama that takes place in Seattle, this book traces the sadness of a father's madness as Franky's (Freaky) mom is excommunicated from the family.

Becky Bigmore littlelessdesign — It is no surprise to anyone here that I love graphic novels. Whenever a new one comes out, I can’t wait to devour it. Of course I try to be discerning about what I read, but when it comes to graphic novels...I gobble them all up! I picked up An Elegy for Amelia Johnson, basically, because it was on the shelf. I typically don’t like road trip stories but I thought I would take a chance on it because the illustrations looked interesting and it looked like it covered a lot of ground in under 125 pages. This novel met my expectations but, sadly, did not succeed them. Amelia Johnson is ding of cancer when she contacts her two best friends, Henry and Jillian. Henry and Jillian have never met before but they’re about to get to know each other really well as Amelia sends them on a cross-country journey together. Henry has known Amelia almost all of his life but fell out of touch with her when she moved to New York City to go to college. This is when she befriended Jillian who was her roommate at Columbia University. The two women forged a bond that took them through some tumultuous times. However, they both emerged relatively unscathed. It is Amelia’s deathbed request that these two friends travel together across the country delivering DVDs on which Amelia has recorded her last words. Once on the road, Henry and Jillian realize that Amelia may have had ulterior motives when she chose them both to do this task. They also start to question if either of them ever knew Amelia. This graphic novel has lofty goals. Any plot that involves deathbed requests AND a cross-country journey is striving a bit too hard to be sentimental and philosophical. I felt that the storyline was highly unrealistic and all of the characters were unlikeable. The emotional scavenger hunt to deliver Amelia’s last words did move the characters around but it didn’t help their development. It was clear from the synopsis on the back of the book what would happen in the end but even I was surprised by the amount of melodrama and cliches that were used. Overall, I think the illustrations were nice even if the story was weak. I think the author has room to grow and I look forward to reading his future works...but I may borrow them from the library instead of buying them. www.iamliteraryaddicted.blogspot.com

Felipe Cohen felipecohenphoto — I am a sucker for short stories about weird and quirky aliens. Larry Niven is a great author and many of the stories and vignettes in this book are great. A couple were not so entertaining, but on the whole I enjoyed it a lot.

Thiwid Widyarto widyarto621eeb — I really can't recommend it to any but the most die-hard Monty Python fan, and a lot of the funniest stories were re-told better in live performances by Chapman shortly before his death. But it does offer some amusing, albeit surreal, insight into the man and some interesting anecdotes.
