Rating:  - HUGE book, worth the read!
This book is simply gorgeous. An adult or child alike will find this book captivating, and awesome.
Rating:  - The black and white version hurts me inside
Bone is an enjoyable comic, and for many in my age bracket it was our first taste of a graphic novel that was not about superheroes.
