llp’s #CBR5 Review 25: Black Orchid by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean

Posted on December 14, 2013 by gentlyfalling

BlackOrchid_Paperback_1185746587I was disappointed by this one. I suspect I am missing some of it’s charm, but it just seemed sad and disjointed to me.

So, this book is hilarious, as expected. It is so witty and clever, as is the blog of the same name.

I picked this one up in a tiny bookstore in remote northern Canada, and it was one of the best impulse purchases I have made in ages. I really enjoyed Howey’s Wool.

So, a friend gave these to me for vacation reading. The supernatural parts of the story are fine, but the romance part just leaves me cold. I am not a romance enthusiast.

I first learned of this book earlier in the CBR season. While I didn’t find it as funny as I had anticipated, I found it pretty heartfelt and touching.

I really liked this book – it has an interesting plot, is easy to read, and Buchanan does a good job of differentiating the different voices of the characters.
