Put the Book Back on the Shelf: A Belle and Sebastian Anthology by Charles Brownstein, Ande Parks, Jamie S. Rich, Erin Laing, Rick Remender, Janet Harvey, Jennifer de Guzman, Eric Stephenson, Ian Carney, Rick Spears, Mark Scott Ricketts, Mark Andrew Smith, Christopher Butcher

2.0

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.
