5 Stars 1st Graphic Novel ever read
This is my 1st Graphic Novel that I have read. Jeff Smith is a great author and illustrator. The words along with the pictures tell a great story. Jeff uses many story elements in his book Eyes of the storm. His plot has several conflicts in it. He uses mainly person-against-person, with it being the Bone cousins and village people against the rat creatures. Jeff Smith uses flashbacks and foreshadowing in dreams to let Thorn know what her past was like. He uses cliff hangers to make the story more suspenseful. Amongst all of this, Jeff Smith knows how to lighten the atmosphere by putting humor in the right places. This book kept me wanting more. I can’t wait to get a hold of the next volume. This will not be my last graphic novel that I read.

5 Stars Bone, Books 1 through 4
These books are fantastic! I have two 7yr old boys that cry if I don’t read this book to them at night.

Parents:

Imagine using, I won’t read to you tonight if you don’t stop right now, and it works…that’s how good this series is. At first I thought the book might be a little too scary for them but they were hooked and it wasn’t until book 4 that I had to consider sensoring some of the language (things like “idiot”). Any book that brings kids back to the well again and again is worth purchasing.

5 Stars the plot thickens
I think this was my favorite volume in the series so far. The first two were fun and entertaining, but in this one the plot becomes thicker, more complicated, and we start to see glimpses of a rich backstory behind the characters Grandma Ben and Thorn. People who liked the first two books will be sure to like this one, too.

5 Stars Eyes of the Storm
This book I just read is about a boy named Bone. Bone’s friend started a cow race, and convinced everyone to bet on a cow that didn’t even exist. So now they have to wash dishes at a bar to pay back what they destroyed. They have weird dreams about their past. So they spend days trying to figure out what their dreams were about. There are furry creatures in the woods trying to kill them.

Bone was the main character in the story he is the coolest and funniest in the book. There grandma reminds me of my grandma from when I was 3. She told me that there as no such thing as ghosts. I figured out that there was such thing as ghosts when I was 5. My favorite part in the story is when Bone realized that their dreams where real. If you like comic books then you will like the Bone series. This book was made to be read by kids 11 and older.
