Love the album but this book didn’t move me in the way I’d hoped. Really interesting idea(s) though.

I loved Little Earthquakes when it came out, and once I learned that both Margaret Atwood and Neil Gaiman were involved in this graphic album project, I had to have it. I read it all as soon as it arrived. Love it. It was fun listening to the songs as I read each story; the artwork and stories are all so powerful and add layers to my own interpretations of the songs over these many years. Maybe this book will mostly resonate with us oldsters who already love Tori, but I hope it can also bring her some new fans.

Beautiful graphic novel with different artist’s interpretations of one of Tori Amos’s best loved works. Some stories were stronger than others, but the artwork was beautiful in each. Dark themes covered.

Beautiful book, full of poignant stories, one for each song of the album plus bsides, all brilliantly illustrated. I especially loved Silent All These Years, but so many are just perfect. Highly recommended.

Spring 2023 (March);

I went crazy for this one the moment I saw it was in pre-order and I set a whole day aside for reading it once the package made it to me. The book is broken down song by song, with art & comic stories for each (including b sides!). I read the book chapter by chapter, stopping to listen to the song, then reading the story each time. I was such fun!

I really did love a good number of these.

All of the stars are for the illustrations, some of the stars are for the stories.

[a:Neil Gaiman|1221698|Neil Gaiman|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1234150163p2/1221698.jpg]'s story and afterword, and [a:Margaret Atwood|3472|Margaret Atwood|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1282859073p2/3472.jpg]'s story were my favorites, which is no surprise, but I enjoyed them all to one degree or another.

David Mack's contributions, as always, were perfect.
