This was such a cute graphic novel! After finishing it (on somewhat of a cliffhanger), I want to read the rest of the series! I would definitely recommend this for middle school students or any reluctant readers.

Bone was the first time I’ve ever really read a graphic novel. I loved every minute of it. It was sweet and funny and was just all around loveable. I cannot wait to continue this series with a warm cup of tea while it’s starts to feel like winter.

Enjoyable. Sure, Highlanders are hot and all, but am I really supposed to believe that Chloe is 24, still a virgin, and has never had an orgasm before? I mean, seriously?!?? I'm willing to suspend belief that time-travel and magic and fairies are real, but that's pushing it a bit!

It was unique and interesting. I understand why it checks out so much at the library.

It was fine, I guess? It's supposed to be this masterpiece of comics, and I don't really get why.

My kids absolutely loved the adventures of Bone - the entire series, so I decided to start with book one. I have to be honest, I just didn't share their enthusiasm for the book. They assure me that the series improves, but I think I am done with this one.

The characters had fun personalities to discuss in my online book club and there is clearly an adventure to come. But I am content with my exposure in this first book and I am finished with this series.

- My husband started reading this to our 4 year old, and they both really liked it. They convinced me to give it a try, and I'm actually enjoying the series.

- It starts off a little slow and silly, but it picks up and character become endearing.

- The characters are what really make the story. They are funny and sometimes witty. Fone Bone is cute. I want to learn more about Grandma Rose. There is more to her.

- The art surprises me. The Bone characters are simple, but everything else isn't. There is some cool stuff going on in the panels.

- Overall, this book was surprisingly fun, and I'm excited to read the rest of the series.

es graciosillo y me cae bien bone, pero no me apetece tener que gastarme 17 euros en cada volumen para poder terminar de leer la historia. si alguna vez la termino, será en inglés...
