I love the story - Barbara is such a perfect little middle-school weirdo. And the art style is mesmerizing.
I love that I Kill Giants doesn't fit neatly into an age category, either. There are little things that would traditionally be "inappropriate" in a middle-grade novel, like Barbara's vulgar insults and the naked little sprites she sees.
The end is just a liiiiiittle too heavy-handed, but that's my only complaint.
