Please Don’t Read This Book! on Hereville: “the more I look at the illustrations, the more they impress me”

On January 5, 2011 · Comments Off on Please Don’t Read This Book! on Hereville: “the more I look at the illustrations, the more they impress me”

The terrifically-named “Please Don’t Read This Book!” blog has a review of Hereville! (I’m a bit late in posting about this, because… well, to tell you the truth, I’m just like that.)

The format is very neat — it’s sort of a dialog between two bloggers. Here’s a bit that I was particularly fond of:

I have a confession to make. Even if I’d never read and enjoyed a single graphic novel, I would’ve suggested that we consider HEREVILLE. Why? Because of its tagline: “Yet Another Troll-Fighting 11-Year-Old Orthodox Jewish Girl.” Who could resist that? Even my seventy-five-year-old businessman of a father–who is *never* tempted by children’s literature–picked HEREVILLE up off my coffee table when he saw that tagline. And started reading. And didn’t stop until he’d finished–at which point he proclaimed it marvelous! I so enjoyed that moment.

Awesome! 🙂 Please click through to read the rest of their review (which did include some criticism, by the way — in particular, they found the ending rather abrupt).
