Feb 03, Abi autumnofpellinor rated it liked it. Thank you to NetGalley for an eCopy of this graphic novel in return for an unbiased review. I enjoyed this little, translated work which is based around the mystery of a girl who speaks no English seemingly wanting to escape from those she lives with, and these individuals seem to have a dark side to them.
Why else would she seem so distressed? I think the drawing style is really nice and I like the way the plot develops. It did seem a little rushed at the end, but overall I did like the novel a Thank you to NetGalley for an eCopy of this graphic novel in return for an unbiased review.

Something fun, not too heavy and quick to read. Jan 14, Hannah Harvey rated it liked it Shelves: This book was just ok for me.
I liked parts of it, whilst others felt a little less engaging. I think I would have preferred it if the story was a little more fleshed out because the base storyline, had me so interested but there just wasn't enough of it to get me truly invested.
I've read so many amazing graphic novels, but this one left me a little disappointed. Jan 16, Ashley rated it liked it. I think the illustrations were beautiful and I appreciated the author's attempt at showcasing a diverse group of characters. I enjoyed most of the characters in the story as well. My only complaint is that I wish the story was a little more fleshed out.
It didn't really feel like there was much for the detective to solve and the ending was a little confusing. Jan 13, Elia rated it it was ok Shelves: A young African woman who speaks only Swahili runs away from her "boss" through the streets of Paris, where she is given sanctuary by a priest, who calls on his friend, P.
Jerome Bloche to help figure out why the girl is running and who it is that is looking for her. Beter dan 23, maar dit is voor een heel politiek correct verhaal, alweer heel braaf en middenklasse-bourgeois. Ontgoocheld in die laatste twee Bloches. Gekocht uit nostalgie naar een stripreeks die mij zeer beviel toen ik nog Robbedoes weekblad las, maar helaas blijkt dit verhaal wel erg slapjes. Ik herinner me Jerome K.
Jerome Bloks vanwege de soms slapstick-achtige humor, maar nog meer door de plotse ingevingen van het hoofdpersonage.

Jerome K Jerome Bloche - Aina: Perspective based on a review copy supplied by the publisher Aina is one issue in an ongoing series about Jerome K. Aina speaks no English or French as this is a translated comic.
Aina is experiencing some health issues and the people searching for her are just exasperating her difficulties. Having no prior experience with him, I felt Bloche was a bit of a white bread sandwich. He is a detective and mooches rides off his friends.

Doog Reader marked it as to-read Sep 09, Nothing like an illustrated page of 2 people talking that you can't read. Anandaroop rated it really liked it Dec 29, I received access to this title via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I was enthusiastic for Padre Arthur, the fisticuffs priest who fights off henchman Pacifico and takes Aina in from the cold.

A good rule of thumb is that series have a conventional name and are intentional creations , on the part of the author or publisher.
For now, avoid forcing the issue with mere "lists" of works possessing an arbitrary shared characteristic, such as relating to a particular place. Avoid series that cross authors, unless the authors were or became aware of the series identification eg. Also avoid publisher series, unless the publisher has a true monopoly over the "works" in question. So, the Dummies guides are a series of works.
But the Loeb Classical Library is a series of editions, not of works. Home Groups Talk Zeitgeist. The 12 Days of LT scavenger hunt is going on.
