The Stuff of Legend

review 1: I saw book one in this series when it was first published. It was on display at Borders (I'm only saying this because I really miss Borders. A lot.) and I looked at it but decided to ignore it. Erin Morgenstern (author of The Night Circus, which I loved dearly) mentioned on Twitter that she was reading the series, so I decided to give it a try, too (I'm easily influenced only when it comes to books, I promise).The premise, that a boy gets kidnapped by the Boogeyman and his toys have to rescue him, is interesting. The art is beautiful (I feel like such a fraud saying something like that as I have no real knowledge about art). The storyline, after three volumes, is starting to get a little convoluted. There is a lot of what feels like complication for complexity's sake: this... more character betrayed everyone! This character is king of the toy animals! This character has a brother! It's more boring than it is exciting when so many twists and turns pop up. I'm not sure that I will continue with them.
review 2: The art of this book is absolutely superb!And the story is even better!A fairy tale for the child in every grown up that remembers what it was to be a child. For every grown-up that still lives a part of their life as a child.The boggeyman is coming to get you... you'd better be on good terms with your toys if you want them to come and rescue you... cause if you're not, chances are, those toys are on the bogeyman's side! less
