Fun, but difficult. The dialect in this book is still a challenge for me, even after all this time in Norway. I didn't get all the jokes, but I am probably missing some necessary cultural background.

This is definitely a good book with an interesting conceit, just not quite my wheelhouse. I'll probably pick up the next one eventually.

The Hobbit has always been my least favorite book about Middle Earth, and the story hasn't changed after this re-reading. The graphic novel might make it more approachable for certain people, but I'm not blown away by it, either.

Another fun book in this series, and while I was afraid it could be the last, there's at least one more to look forward to, and maybe finally learn the entire story of Molly? I always love the Tolkien references, and with this book, Peter has finally, albeit grudgingly, graduated to the Silmarilion.

This was a lovely book. I had no idea what I was in for when I started reading, but very soon could not put it down.

Absolutely loved it. Contender for my favorite book read in 2019.

This book had so many laugh-out-loud moments. The bits with McGraw vs. the landlord had me in stitches. I'm going to need more of these, soon.

I read the whole thing, because I was hoping to find another copper story that I could sink my teeth into, but I'm probably not going to pick up the next book anyway. There's not enough suspense, the protagonists are certainly no Sherlock Holmes, and I did not care about the crimes they solved, of which there were too many.

This is the comic that made me learn Norwegian, and this book collects a lot of the strips from that period. Still holds up.

This novella is short, and not driving the main story arc forward, but entertaining nevertheless.

Painful at times, because it's so true.

Not all stories about Holmes are equally good. The artwork is fine, but the story doesn't hold up for me.

I missed the Nightingale in this one. Peter and Beverley are fun, but a book without L and N leaves something to be desired. Interesting twist, though.

Guy Delisle makes this a thrilling read, despite nothing happening for a lot of the book. Literal tears in my eyes by the end of it.

I already knew this story, but the art intrigued me, so I picked up the book. It's very pretty, really works well for the source material.

Something approaching a coherent story here, at last. Probably still not going to get deeper I to this series, though.

This just doesn't do it for me in comic book format.

I am enjoying these books tremendously, and very glad to see there's going to be another one.

I hope there will be more of these!

While it employs the same time travel mechanism and backstory as To Say Nothing Of The Dog, this book is still very different in almost every other way. Much less light-hearted, for one, and with a solid B plot in the present time. Thoroughly enjoyed it, again.

Holds up nicely to a second read-through. ‘werk'

I didn't care too much about the Palacial subplot, but everything else was good stuff.

This is the book that made me want to learn to read when I was a child. Happy to learn that my parents still have it (in German, of course).

This entire series was outstanding, and the third book a fitting finale. I'm sorry there can't be any more after this.

I'm sure this would be a good introduction to fantasy for younger generations. My own younger self would have devoured these books, just like he couldn't get enough of Dianna Wynne Jones's children's fantasy. Adult me thinks it stretches a pretty straightforward story a little thin, but will still try to get a hold of the next part.
