I bought this one after reading a really passionate review about it. I have no regrets, this was a great read - maybe not the world-changing kind the reviewer made it out to be, but it was good.
The reviewer insisted that it would be wrong to say too much regarding the plot, and I agree. I suppose one can say it's about a woman called Chase, who is hunted by The Man. Why she is being hunted you have to find out for yourself.
"Breathtaker"is very well plotted and structured, something I love, and I also liked its overall message regarding love and passion and sex. The artwork was fantastic - I know Marc Hempel's work from Sandman, and while it took me untit I saw the Absolute edition of Sandman to like his style, it works very well here. The coloring is mighty fine as well.
So yes, a very satisfying read. Recommended, if you want to try something a little different.
