 Excellent, but with New Age overtones. November 2, 2008

The Bone books combine a well-drawn and very funny comic book format with a story line that becomes very serious by the end of the series.
The "dreaming", which is a big part of the plot, is very New Age, and Christian parents should be aware of that if their children want to read the books. Otherwise, it is very good.
 Annoyed with the publishers October 28, 2008

Why did the publisher put all the stories in one edition, and take away the COLOR in the drawings??? Half of the artistic delivery, is the drawings....and an important part of that is the artist's use of color. I wanted the entire collection, and to be able to savor the full experience of story, drawing, color, all as was given in the separate editions. When I received the book, I was thrilled until I opened it and saw that they had given me a product minus half the experience. And that is not really made clear in the description. You think you're buying the collected equivalent of the separate editions. But you're not....Most disappointing.
 I could not put it down. October 27, 2008

I started collecting the comics, but really only as a collector, so I wanted to read the entire story put together. I bought this here on Amazon, for far cheaper then any place else, and started reading it. I read the entire 1200 pages in about two days. I could not put it down. Jeff Smith out together a beautiful and fun story and now it is all together in one big book.
This is the black and white versions just like the comics are, but the full color volumes are really a bit easier on the eyes, and if you are wanting to get Bone for children, you almost have to get the full color versions and not this big volume which will just intimidate them I believe.
In the end, this is a must read book for comic fans. Once you get a bit through it, you will know why Jeff Smith is so highly respected. =)
 This volume is B&W September 9, 2008

If you like this series, you should know that this volume is printed completely in black & white, unlike the individual volumes which are printed in color. I think that would be significant to adults, but it's especially important to youngsters. My son was using his birthday money to buy this book and was hugely disappointed. He'll get the last couple of volumes in color instead.
