5.0 out of 5 stars love it love it love it, July 31, 2007
By Raina Lee (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
the thrilling world of espionage and intrigue, all in the oakland public library! jason creates a highly thunk out mystery (as always). Similar to the Bourne Identity series, but better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Geniously!, February 28, 2009
By Dusan Dekic (Belgrade, Serbia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This really bettered my day.
Story about fictional Library Police, retrieving books stolen from library. It consists of two stories, first one is short and kinda interlude for main story. It`s great story, funny, John Woo style.
Second one, main story, is great thriller about stolen book, Bible from 19th century, with great deal of bookbinder terminology (which makes little confusion, but you get the idea so it`s not that bad) which gives it that CSI touch, grotesque of course.
Art is good, it fits great to the story, not choking it (which is great deal due to before mentioned bookbinder terminology).
This is great comic, funny, intelligent, good for your collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic., November 19, 2008
Jason Shiga, Bookhunter (Sparkplug, 2007)

This is just about everything a bibliophile could possibly want in an adventure comic-- mystery! Intrigue! Suspense! All of it centered around a library! A priceless book on tour has been stolen from the Oakland Public Library, and the library police (the bookhunters of the title) have to figure out the mystery before it's time for the book to move on to its next destination. Shiga knows all the tropes of the mystery novel, and how to use them intelligently (while always involved in gentle parody), and he does so here to great effect. This is really great stuff, highly recommended. (It can also be read for free on the publishers' website, which I can't reveal in an Amazon review--but a quick google search on title and author's name will turn it up pretty quickly.) ****
