I hate to rate anything by Matt Fraction this low, but I did not get this comic at all. I found it confusing and really disjointed. I have no idea what was going on. Guess I'll just stick with ODY-C and Sex Criminals!

I'm not sure I was in the right mood for this book. It was wild and wacky and gorgeously illustrated but there was something about it which left me bored. The plot was convoluted and difficult to follow. Interesting characters.

The first volume of Matt Fraction’s Casanova is often more interested in being clever than in being good. Nevertheless, Gabriel Bá’s fantastic art kept pulling me forward, and I’m glad it did. Near the end of the volume, once Fraction stops showing off his entire collection of narrative tricks, his real storytelling chops begin to emerge.

Bá's artwork is good but the story line winds up all over the place and I didn't care for it that much. I think I will pass on future Fraction tales.

This is one of the weirdest comics I have ever read! it really threw me at the start and I had no idea what was going one (and not in an enjoyable way). By the end I had pieced everything together but I think some things needed to be clearer from the start. It was a real struggle for me t keep reading. When I get about half way through I was enjoying it but over all I have to say there were some parts I liked and some parts I didn't. I loved the art though (I'm a big fan of Ba's work) and wanted to finish it for the art alone at some points. If you want to read something really really trippy give it a go, other wide, it might not be for you.

The plot was interesting, but the grammar and dialogue were pretty atrocious.
