I loved the book. It was a great read. After the first three-quarters, I didn’t want it to end. I wanted to keep reading about the characters. This is my second Rooney after Normal People. While NP is all about feelings, there were many parts that felt unnecessary. Intermezzo is a big improvement in that regard. It felt more organized and better composed, while still maintaining that flowing prose. The only disappointing part was the ending. I expected at least one of the resolutions to be different from what we got.

If you have read any Rooney before and enjoyed it, you'll definitely enjoy this one.

I didn’t really enjoy this read. I had higher expectations going in. The antagonist was more annoying than scary.

There were some good moments but they couldn't make up for the overall experience, and the ending was predictable.

The artwork was decent, though. I have no complaints about that.

Read this book as an eARC from Netgalley.

This was the first time that I read a graphic novel adaptation of Sherlock Homes. The artwork is good and they haven't modernised the dialogues. You get the same classic feel as you would from the books.

Even though I have read other Sherlock Holmes stories, this was the first time that I read 'A Study in Scarlet' in any form. Overall, it was an enjoyable read.

A short and great read. Overall it's good but man one of them was so bad. Hated all of children can dance.

It could have been better, but he had to include weird sexualisation of the mother character.

Like I know some people can think like sexually about their mother, but did he had to write it down?
It was really uncomfortable to read the story and hard to relate to the author.

The trope of adult Japanese women being oblivious to sex and thier sex appeal/attraction is honestly tiring.

Who acts like a kid as an adult and what's with Japanese media liking this. I really don't get them.

Without that the story was alright as the parts about it were good.

And from the rest really loved honey pie. From the rest, super frog saves Tokyo was fun and landscape with flatiron was memorable.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with this advanced copy for review.

The book is a collection of one page, four panel comics with the theme of Earth and the environment. Along with the four panel ones, it includes several one-page or two connected pages of fully filled jokes or commentary spread throughout the book.

There are many recurring themes and similar jokes, with several comics building upon, referencing, or continuing earlier ones.

It's an easy read, but only a few of the jokes were actually funny and made me laugh. Besides the jokes, it includes some wholesome comics and a bit of sexual commentary. However, the varying mix added to a sense of messiness, even though all of it follows a common theme.

Finally the artwork is alright, and I really liked the creativity used to make it adhere to the subject. It's a great effort but overall, it falls short of what I expected going in.
