I loved this graphic novel. The art is simple and engaging in it’s sketchiness. The story and the storytelling is fun and clear. It’s good for a second read and a third and a fourth . . .

Meh. I’m reading what comes into my public library, which so far means I’ve only read Plain Janes. I didn’t much care for it. The characters seemed like flat stereotypes and the whole thing felt rushed and unsatisfying. But Re-Gifters sounds neat. I look forward to it.

I liked Plain Janes, but I preferred Re-Gifters. I did find the plot a bit stretched at certain points (what, everyone she knows either studies hapkido formally or else tries to do it street-style?), though.

Either way, the Minx line is turning out better than I’d anticipated.

I agree- so far Re-Gifters has been the best of the bunch as far as I’m concerned.

Well said, Johanna. While I liked Plain Janes, I think this was a better book. I skipped Clubbing, and I’m reading Good as Lily right now. We’ll see how it goes, but right now this one is at the top of the heap.
