I can't recommend this graphic novel highly enough. It's hilarious, charming, and accessible. My daughter discovered it when she was about 11-years-old and became cartoonist Kerry Callen's biggest fan. She can't wait for his newest work and insisted on going to a comic book convention where she met Callen and bought a Halo and Sprocket t-shirt.

Callen's wit comes through on every page as lead character Katie muddles through life dealing with her two roommates: Halo, an all-knowing angel, and Sprocket, a know-it-all robot. Talk about Three's Company!

Callen never bothers to explain how this trio came to share an apartment. He just dives into dilemma after dilemma and riddle after riddle presented by the ever-logical robot and spiritually precise angel. Be sure to "Search Inside" this book, because you get a real feel for the humor and verbal paradoxes that Callen comes up with time after time.

Smart and funny. I love it.

The writing and the artwork are great. I laughed out loud the first time I read it. I can't think of higher praise than that for a graphic novel.

This is great stuff! Katie shares half a duplex with Halo, the powerful, all-knowing angel and Sprocket, the naive robot--both of whom are continually flabbergasted by her simple human behaviors. Witty, oddball dialogue and gorgeous, black and white art make this a must-have.

I can't believe I didn't find this book sooner!
