I've been a fan since the first time I saw it, way before I ever actually read anything of his. I think the cover of Blankets, without the words on it, would be an amazing print to have framed. It is just beautiful. Thompson’s artwork is amazing. I’ve been a fan since the first time I saw it, way before I ever actually read anything of his.

It has gotten such fabulous reviews and I just need to settle down and give myself a good bawl with it, clearly! At least Ana will be there to cry with me :-) Gosh, Ana and I MUST read this next weekend!

I think many people have that same gambit of emotions with this one...it's just such an amazing book. I hope many more people get to know this one!! Carrie, Thanks! Isn't it amazing? Peta, I hope you do!! It really is gorgeous! Darren, Oh, I hope you do get a copy of this one that you can keep permanently. I almost got this one out from the library so many times and I'm just so glad that I actually bought it. It's one I'll definitely go back to over and over again. Claire, Oh PLEASE don't let the size intimidate you!! I was intimidated by the size too but you totally forget about the size and just wish it was LONGER once you start reading it...seriously, I wish there were 5 more volumes of Blankets this size. It would make me infinitely happy! Nymeth, I can't wait to see your reaction to this one. Warning, keep tissues handy. If that panel brought tears to your eyes, you're in for a cry fest. I know so many of these panels brought tears to my eyes. He captures the essence of love so well. Debi, God, it really is one of those books that you want to just hug and hug and hug...In fact, I think I may have hugged this book a few times :p So beautiful. I wanted to wrap myself in it's pages. I'm glad to hear that you're going to buy this one!! It's definitely one that one has to own!! Vivienne, Oh good!! It's definitely one to own :) Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!! Lu, wouldn't it be great to frame a bunch of the pages in this one and place them throughout your place? Gah, I'd love that!! Jenny, I'm totally with you there!! I want to read everything that Craig Thompson has done now...I just wish there was tons! I can't wait to see what he does next either. This was such an amazing book. And I love your Saints comment :p Christina, I can definitely see why!! Isn't it amazing. Staci, I have a feeling it's a lot of people's favorite graphic novel. I didn't realize the power that this one had until I read it. Just amazing! Amanada, Yeah, good decision there!! It's SUCH an amazing book Amanda. You're really going to love it, I think. Like I told Ana, have the tissues nearby. There are quite a few panels that will pull the tears from your eyes. It's such a moving story in so many ways. And it's definitely one to own in the long run. Michelle, It’s definitely one of those that once you start you just CAN’T stop!! it sucked me in at page one and just didn’t let go.

I've ordered it from the library. I can't afford to buy it right now, but I've got to READ it now. I can't even wait until readathon. That panel you put up is so beautiful. I'm like Ana - it makes me cry and I haven't even read the book! I definitely need this, even if only in temporary form for now. First Darren, then Lu, now you…that does it.
