review 1: It hurts me a bit to give this only three stars, but while I really loved some of the comics in here, they were the minority. Most takes on the lyrics were either much too literal or lack any connection to the lyrics. I just feel it could've been... more. Better. I don't know. I guess that what I'm saying is that I would only recommend it to Tori fans, everyone else won't get anything out of these comics.
review 2: I won't give this book one star because a lot of the art really is lovely and Tori Amos's lyrics are always interesting and thought provoking to read, but man oh man... virtually none of the stories in this book are memorable or good and a good chunk of them barely make sense or can really even be called stories. The majority are more or less readabl... moree but kind of banal and, as expected, there is definitely a very precious element, a sort of butterflies/mermaids/earth goddess/fairy/grrrrrl power quality to them that can get annoying when you read one after another. By the time some sensitive, misunderstood heroine is, once again, struggling with boy (or girl, or boy and girl) problems for the fourteenth time you realize you've just been kind of flipping the pages for a few stories anyway. I'm a huge Tori fan, but not in this way, and I'd only recommend this book for people who really want a pop-culture coffee table book to end all pop-culture coffee table books and don't care too much about what the actual literary quality of the material. less
