I cannot say enough good things about 'Love and Rockets' or Jaime Hernandez. Just classic!

I fell for her hard. It was the kind of relationship you wanted to last forever, but all your sleepless nights only drew you to the end. I tried to quit her, or space our time so that we could be together forever, but I rushed it, and now I have to start all over.

This book kept me up nights when I wasn't reading it. That's how good it is.

I'm sure I'm one of a tiny minority that didn't enjoy this book. This is the first comic/graphic novel that I literally couldn't finish. I started and re-started 3 times and couldn't get into it. The "story" dragged on and never really went anywhere. I love comics and could read a graphic novel about nuclear fission, but this book just had no plot.

I never fell for the characters. Maybe my expectations were too high - I know Jaime Hernandez is an incredible talent and most people like his work. I almost never write negative reviews out of respect for the artists - I feel fine doing so here because Hernandez is so popular and my little review will have no impact on his sales.

Be sure to look at a few pages yourself before buying this book. Maybe it's just like an expensive Cabernet- totally wasted on someone that doesn't like wine.
