Ordinary writing; for preteens.

The Realm of Half World, for all its gruesomeness, sounds fascinating. Readers have already drawn apt comparisons to Neil Gaiman, Charles De Lint, and China Mievelle, so I won’t drag that out. What’s a little disappointing about Half World…

Really loved Kappa Child but this one was a lot wackier with slimy, smelly manga-like characters and action-packed scenes. Liked that it was partially set in a familiar neighborhood. For all ages really.

This book is so strange and so good. I found it because I *love* Jillian Tamaki's art work so much and she had posted some of the illustrations for this book on her sketch blog. It was even better to realize that it was written by Hiromi…

The author has created an alarming world. I like the contrasts between half-world and this world.

This book was quite an enjoyable read for me. It’s not really something that I’d normally be reading, but I still enjoyed it quite a lot. The development of the main character throughout the novel was very well done. It was hard to relate…

The entire concept of "Half World" was simply amazing, and I loved the idea of what Hiromi Goto conceptualized. In the end, I found I was dragging my feet through the novel and couldn't bring myself to appreciate the main character, due…

A special read. It is either loved or unloved. Clever twists, imaginative storyline, detailed pictures, important themes-I loved it. I found I took a liking to this book-it was relaxing to take a break from serious-subject books and…

i found this bok to be pretty interesting, it wasn't one of the best but also not the worst. I really liked Mr.Glueskin, despite his gluey grossness.

This was a very strange book to read, rather like a nightmare. I loved the fact that the heroine was overweight and plain. All the protagonists seem to be very intelligent beneath their problems, but this heroine isn't. There was a great…
