Also I had read Lovecraft before and liked his style.Stu1980https://www.blogger.com/profile/16278846678614764034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-47492744682334786832009-11-22T14:43:28.633-06:002009-11-22T14:43:28.633-06:00Stuart you must like the strange stories.

Amy M's novel about the concentration camp, based on a true story, is another good example of this.<br /><br />I like your review a lot--do you think you could actually embed your video in your post? (go to youtube and copy and paste the code for "embedding" the video directly in your blog).<br /><br />Take care,<br />TPTom Philionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066393537809002425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-32553955802365964852009-11-10T22:18:37.002-06:002009-11-10T22:18:37.002-06:00This book sounds awesome!

Thanks for giving an accurate review - I am a huge Lovecraft fan and would like to see some creative alternatives to his ideas. Interesting that this is YA lit, though...Caitlin Strandquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09549127806532999418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-40835479321473954212009-11-09T23:18:21.069-06:002009-11-09T23:18:21.069-06:00Good call Anne, I changed it :)Good call Anne, I changed it :)Stuart Millarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-69261300871595553652009-11-08T19:31:36.126-06:002009-11-08T19:31:36.126-06:00Ooo, this seems like a very odd book!

I do agree with you and Donna that I do not really get into the whole graphic novel craze.<br />The youtube video: I must admit I became very bored and did not watch the whole thing. I was just staring at the picture...Not sure this would be the most beneficial additional to your review.

I am not much for graphic novels either but your blog does peak my curiosity. It also sounds like there was a lot of variety in your book.<br /><br />DonnaDonna Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596158650075611897noreply@blogger.com
