Not a fanI read the full bind-up and was so angry by the time that I finished it. ... The story was just not executed well. I felt like there were some things going on there that were just offensive.

Others: Overwhelmingly positive"Katie's got it pretty good. She's a talented young chef, she runs a successful restaurant, and she has big plans to open an even better one. Then, all at once, progress on the new location bogs down, her charming ex-boyfriend pops up, her fling with another chef goes sour, and her best waitress gets badly hurt. And just like that, Katie's life goes from pretty good to not so much. What she needs is a second chance. Everybody deserves one, after all--but they don't come easy. Luckily for Katie, a mysterious girl appears in the middle of the night with simple instructions for a do-it-yourself do-over: 1. Write your mistake 2. Ingest one mushroom 3. Go to sleep 4. Wake anew. And just like that, all the bad stuff never happened, and Katie is given another chance to get things right. She's also got a dresser drawer full of magical mushrooms--and an irresistible urge to make her life not just good, but perfect. Too bad it's against the rules. But Katie doesn't care about the rules--and she's about to discover the unintended consequences of the best intentions" --

Others: Leaning positive"David Smith is giving his life for his art--literally. Thanks to a deal with Death, the young sculptor gets his childhood wish: to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands. But now that he only has 200 days to live, deciding what to create is harder than he thought, and discovering the love of his life at the 11th hour isn't making it any easier! This is a story of desire taken to the edge of reason and beyond; of the frantic, clumsy dance steps of young love; and a gorgeous, street-level portrait of the world's greatest city. It's about the small, warm, human moments of everyday life...and the great surging forces that lie just under the surface. Scott McCloud wrote the book on how comics work; now he vaults into great fiction with a breathtaking, funny, and unforgettable new work"--

Others: MixedThe strange and exotic Menzoberranzan—the great city of the Underdark, founded millennia ago by the dark elves after they left the surface world—is the home of Drizzt Do'Urden, the hero of The Icewind Dale. Drizzt, the young prince of one of the ruling houses, comes of age in his race's cruel and ruthless world, where the only ray of hope is his weapons master, Zaknafein, who teaches him how—and why—to wield a sword. Possessing a sense of honor incomprehensible to the unprincipled society around him—a society intent only on satisfying the vile whims of the Spider Queen—young Drizzt faces an inevitable dilemma: can he live in a world that rejects integrity?
