  I read an omnibus edition of this graphic novel that contained all three volumes, so I'll review them as a set here.
  
  You know that saying, be careful what you wish for as you just might get it? This graphic novel is adapted from a book of the same name by Clive Barker, and I plan on reading that as well.
  
  Harvey Swick is a bored little boy, and time seems to go by at a glacial pace. He wishes he could run away and have adventures. Then one day he meets someone who promises to take him to a place where all his wishes will come true. What happens when Harvey gets there, and the characters he meets is a fun read. The art is wonderfully evocative, and this would be the perfect story for young readers around Halloween. Spooky without being too scary.

  I loved the Thief of Always (the original, not the graphic novel) and I guess this was a pretty good graphic novel version of it. The plot was basically the same, but the narrating was kind of boring. The characters were really well drawn; I think the illustrator did a great job of taking the descriptions of the characters and they were all realistic and easy to relate to. This was ok, and I'd recommend it if you've read the Thief of Always because it was a lot better!

  This was a fun start, I haven't read the real novel, I assume it would be better.
