Peter & Max by Bill Willingham
3.0
This ties into the Fables (comic) continuity so I had to read it (I am so addicted to that series). It is a stand alone but I am not sure anyone could really get into it without already enjoying Fables. It is also placed in continuity maybe around volume 6 (it says in the book but I don't have the book with me - I loaned it out).
The writing is smooth and easy, almost too smooth actually. I would have preferred it to be a bit more complicated in the style and substance of everything. It started well, fell off in the beginning and middle, and finally got intense enough toward the end to be really fun.
I don't know for sure but I think Wellington hasn't written any other books. The book really would have been quite excellent as a comic - it is simple enough, a few bit being an exception, that the translation would be great. However, I really like authors branching out and I think that Wellington's next book will be even better.
SO I am totally addicted to Fables and any story that furthers that is good to me. The book was fun and light reading with some very twisted bits involved. I would have liked even more gruesome detail though I suppose that doesn't actually fit in with how the comics work (I am such a horror fan). I would totally read other Fables books tie ins.
