Another book in the form of a diary, this one takes the guise of one of those "altered books" that have been popular for a while now. Actually, I think the craze has calmed down a bit, but whatever.
Anyway, the diarist types about her life and pastes it in the book. She also draws and does collages. The drawings are nice, everything else is kind of ugly. Maybe since there wasn't room to really tell a story, there isn't much of in the way of subtlety. In fact, the only real mystery (besides how this thing got published) is not who killed her, but whether or not there were other people involved in the plot.
Also, why glue a fan in the middle of a really good photo like that?

An okay read, but trip over itself trying to be edgy.

Good, fast read.

Good, fast read.
Tells of two heroes from World War II arriving in the newly founded city of Neopolis, conceived pretty much as a ghetto for those with superpowers.
Actually, this one was pretty good.
Okay, I think that's it for this week's reads so far..
