Harlequin Valentine by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
This was just not my cup of tea. Gaiman is always hit or miss with me and this is a miss. I'm not familiar with the culture and history of the theatre form being retold here in a modern retelling. I know what harlequins and pierrots are but didn't have the background to "get" this tale and with that said it was just simply a little strange and a lot boring. The art is good, which I'll always say about Gaiman's graphic novels and picture books; he is paired with some fantastic illustrators. The artwork carried the book for me.
