review 1: This is an interesting, and strange little book. Interesting because it's been created by two very successful Swedish novelists together with three very accomplished Swedish comics artist, drawing several of the shorts stories each that makes up this book. Reading the stories it becomes evident that this whole graphic novel has been created not as a job for hire for the cartoonists, but that the process has been much more inclusive, as each comic reflect their respective strong sides as artists. And the art is beautiful, showing skill and dedication above and beyond duty. All three cartoonists are on a high international level in this difficult to master, realistic style. The book is strange, though, since it's not really a freestanding volume, but presupposes having read ... morethe famous trilogy that the novelists have written. I have not done so and even though I can mostly grasp what's going on, it's quite evident that I would have gotten much more out of it if I had. So, the writing is fine, the art is excellent, but this just isn't my cup of tea.
review 2: Nej. Tyvärr. Funkade inte för mig. Kan inte ge cred till illustratörerna jag gillade för det stod inte vem som illustrerat vad. Men de flesta gjorde Elias ganska snyggt måste jag säga. Annars... Annars... Alltså jag kunde inte känna någon sympati för Olivia för sättet hon var tecknad på (främst minerna hon gjorde). Linnea såg ut som en elvaåring. Jag såg inte så mycket point i vissa historier för de hade liksom redan berättats i boken. Mina favoriter var nog i sådana fall historien om Rebecka och historien om rektorn när hon var ung. Tyvärr blev det ingen hit för mig. less
