Julie R reviewed Out from Boneville by Jeff Smith (Bone, #1)

made me laugh, love the dragon

3 stars

The rat people were funny, until they weren't. I loved the dragon - gave me Sunday comic strip vibes. This is our May book club read, along with Vol 2, and I know I'd never have picked this up otherwise, so I'm glad this pushed me out of my comfort zone as it's entertaining.

Lord of the Rings + Looney Tunes

5 stars

Bone is easily the most recommendable comic book ever made. I can't think of a single person who would pick this up and not enjoy it, it has something for everyone.

Bone is a fantasy epic that plays out a lot like an older cartoon. Expect great humor, simple characters, but a great overarching plot that slowly gets more sinister as it goes on. Just fantastic.
