It's comics, based on belle &sebastian songs. Like this wouldn't be one of my favourite books...even non-b&s fans would enjoy it.

I'm struggling a tad on where to rate this. There are lots of very cool things about this book and I'm genuinely glad I picked it up because it was an interesting and unique reading experience. But in the end, I have to admit that the stories I disliked greatly outnumber the ones I enjoyed. I honestly don't think a single story in this collection can stand up on its own. So, yeah. A bit middling on this one.

i am sad to say that i was disappointed with this collection. i am huge b&s fan, and it was interesting to see where each artist and/or writer took a song, but somehow the whole thing came off as too quick. like there wasn't enough time to get into a story when suddenly it was over. also a lot of the stories seemed too angst-ridden and juvenile, much different than the feelings evoked in me when listening to the b&s songs.
there are some definite beauties in the anthology though, and i encourage anyone to check it out for themselves, a belle and sebastian fan or not.

Lots of fun. A good read for any fan of B&S, especially fans of their older albums. As with any anthology, some hit better than others, but it’s worth the time spent!

this book is awesome: they had all these artists write comics based on belle and sebastian songs. make a playlist of the table of contents and read on through; it's an experience. i wished it wasn't belle and sebastion, tho. radiohead would be better. those would be some apocalyptic comics.

Bunch of short stories based on songs from a band I have never heard of before.
