2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, December 1, 2006
By Beverly Seaton (Alexandria, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought this would be a list of adult grahic novels, like those of Harvey Pekar. A few were, but many were for children or comic book collectors. I do not think some of them really qualify as graphic novels. From the term "your library" I understood my own personal library, but seems it is for public librarians serving a mixed public. Fine, but I did not see that in the editorial description.

5.0 out of 5 stars A diverse range of in-print graphic novels is represented., April 26, 2006
If you're a graphic novel fan you'll want to keep up with the best using THE 101 BEST GRAPHIC NOVELS as your guide. Here's a concise, updated reference to the best which includes such extensive revision that over half the listings are new - and reflect the best in manga art, too. A diverse range of in-print graphic novel styles is represented, a new section includes books about comics, and the result is a top selection including summaries of offerings and background detail.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for teachers, September 30, 2007
By Florence M. Cross "Flo" (Newfoundland Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I received the book and it is just what I wanted....a great resource. I teach Language Arts in Junior High and I wanted a list of graphic novels to guide me in my purchases as to suitability and content. It has certainly provided direction.

3.0 out of 5 stars We really need to figure out what a "graphic novel" is
I hate the term "graphic novel," and I hate the word "comics" even more. The former is clumsy and inelegant. Read more

The main problem with this book is the list itself. There are far too many books aimed at children and teens, and not enough for the mature reader. Read more
