A powerful, exciting finale to a most enjoyable series,

This review is from: Bone #9: Crown of Horns (Paperback)
Reason for Reading: next and last in the series.A powerful, exciting finale to a most enjoyable series. Coming up to this last book I had some trepidation. Would it be worth the journey? Would it be a satisfying end? I can wholeheartedly say yes to both those questions. First off we are presented with a nice fat volume considerably larger than previous volumes, letting us know we can settle down for a good read. Action-packed, with a conclusion worthy of the eight previous volumes it took to get here. All major characters have their fates determined and get closure and it is not all "happy, happy, joy, joy" for everyone either. I'm not going to say anything about plot in this review, you'll just have to read this far yourself to find out on your own. But I highly recommend the series. Some volumes are better than others, but all rated high with me, either 4 or 5 stars. The story takes turns towards the darkside and is lightened up every now and then with a humorous side story. And all throughout the story, even though it does get mighty dark at times the humour is always there too. My favourite characters were the Red Dragon, Ted the leaf bug, and Bartelby. My favourite of the main characters was Smiley Bone. If you haven't had the pleasure yet, take some time out and read the series as it is a great ride with a satisfying ending.

This review is from: Bone #9: Crown of Horns (Paperback)
From the very first page, the ninth installment in the BONE graphic novel series starts off with a bang.It begins with Thorn and Fone Bone, who are imprisoned by their own people, having the recurring dream of when her parents gave her away to the dragons. This time, however, the dream is clearer than before - she is able to see her mother. With this dream, Thorn figures out that the only way for the war to end is if she finds the Crown of Horns. But Fone Bone is quick to object, since the object could just lead to an unclear end to the war. Outside, the war has begun between the enemies - the Pawan and rat creature army led by Briar - and the city of Atheia. Although Atheia's army are able to force the enemy to retreat, they are still surrounded by them. With this, despite objections, Thorn understands that it is up to her to save her Gran'ma and her city, even if it could mean that it will end her life. So as Phoney and Gran'ma hold down the fort and venture off on their own journey, Thorn and Fone Bone, along with Bartleby, are off to seal the fate of their city. Whether or not Fone Bone is right is a different story. Finding the Crown of Horns is a challenge with so many obstacles standing in their way, and what it could possibly awake is what makes this installment darker than those before. As the first BONE graphic novel I've ever read, it definitely grabbed me from the start. For one, the art and the colors are extremely stunning. The plot itself is intriguing and compelling and is full of action and ferocious creatures that no one should ever have to encounter. The intensity of the war is balanced by the hilarious characters of Phoney and Smiley, who just put a smile on the reader's face whenever they are featured in the story. This is a wonderful series for those reluctant to pick up a book, and BONE: CROWN OF HORNS makes for a thrilling addition. Reviewed by: Randstostipher "tallnlankyrn" Nguyen

Best Graffic Novel,
By Wixom "ISME" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bone #9: Crown of Horns (Paperback)
Love the Bone series. My son is not the best reader. Getting him to read anything is a painful task. I saw the "Bone" books at a sale and on a whim bought volume 1 and 2. Let me just say that he became ravenous for these books. I was at the store or at Amazon as soon as the next one was released. The story line is fantastic. The drawings are beautiful. These books have spread throughout our family. I'm sorry the series is over. But I'm sure to re-read them soon! I can't wait to see what Jeff Smith comes up with next. He truly is a master with this genre!!

Great Story and Great Art,

This review is from: Bone #9: Crown of Horns (Hardcover)
This is a good series that adults and children can both enjoy. There are many funny moments and a compelling storyline, but it might be a little too scary for very young children.

This review is from: Bone #9: Crown of Horns (Paperback)
Both my boys (11 and 9) sat down and read this in one day.Pros: Keeps their attention They loved it and read it from front to back in a few hours. More in the series Cons: Lots of pictures (con for the parents) Lots of slang words, not bad words but just makeup slang that does not really help the kids learn. Your kids will want the other books in the series |
