Rapid Reviews - Eleven List Inspired Reviews

For these reviews I thank Steve Lieber of Mercury Studios for starting the meme, and the King County Library System for its excellent collection of books and ease with which they can be checked out. And lastly, I also thank TangognaT for compiling the list of elevens into one big list for everyone to enjoy and learn from.

Rose: I considered buying this series as it came out because I liked the look of the art. I'm glad I didn't. I wouldn't have understood it, and it would have given me an incorrect perception of Bone that might have delayed me reading it even more. While I'm glad I read this, I'm very glad I read the regular Bone first.

Bone Volume Seven: Ghost Circles: And here I thought the story was over. Lots more to go, I see. I'm still curious to see how the Bones fit into the whole story. I kind of wonder if Thorn is staying sane, since she keeps getting slightly evil looks on her face as things happen to her. It was also nice to see Bartleby again. I wish I could get my hands on the complete Bone. I don't think the library has the last volume of the series...

Bone Volume Eight: Treasure Hunters: While the series is winding down, the story is winding down in excitement a bit too. This is definitely a set-up issue, with most of the events being lead-ins to something else. That makes it all the more stressful for me, as the library doesn't have the last volume! I'm either going to have to wait until the library gets it, or try to scrape up enough money to buy it myself. Considering our financial situation (bad headed toward worse) it looks like I'm going to have to wait. I added it to my Amazon wishlist just in case somebody feels generous, though, and I'll donate it to the library after I read it if someone buys it for me.
