I personally didn't like it. I was hoping it would be more about the comic book industry. | |

you didnt like it because you thought it was a book about comics?
or you read the book and didnt like the book as a work of fiction? didi you read it all(at nearly 1000 pages its quite a hike!)-its scope is amazing-im pretty mystified how you didnt like it ah well -different folks and all that | |

my best-friend-slash-next-door-neighbor ryan has read it twice, and says it's his all time favorite book.

That was a part of it. or you read the book and didnt like the book as a work of fiction? Yes. didi you read it all(at nearly 1000 pages its quite a hike!)-its scope is amazing-im pretty mystified how you didnt like it ah well -different folks and all that I read the whole thing. Yes, its scope is huge. Definitely a book to read if you're interested in all aspects of that era. It just wasn't for me though I guess. I know a lot of people love the book. I think the reason I didn't like it is the reason a lot of people do like it... its huge scope. I think I'd have preferred a narrower plot... Though I shouldn't have gone in expecting a narrow plot since it was almost 1000 pages.  [Edited 10/8/06 22:39pm] | |
