I already love the short story and this adaptation is fairly faithful to the short story. I'm not a big fan of the art in this version, the mix of watercolors and excessive ink really distracts me. For some reason that I still haven't put my finger on, the whole story reminds me of [author: Walt Whitman]'s [book: Leaves of Grass].

This graphic novel easily put me into a dreamlike state. It was short, provocative and, like most Neil Gaiman works, creative and well-executed.

This book was a thoroughly enjoyable read, though not something I would broadly recommend. It feels a lot like the American Romanticists of the 1900s. The story doesn't develop the characters deeply or discuss their motivations. The plot just is and like many stories in real life, there isn't a neat, wrapped up ending.

It is a moody story but the behavior of the women doesn't quite ring true. Artwork is beautiful though.

nothing like a short quick but eventful escape into another Gaiman graphic novel. This is CirqueDeSoleil on steroids! another one thats beyond your imagination, it will make u cringe, feel wierd but you will still keep reading. Thank you to my pretty book friend Maj for lendin me her gorgeous copy one friday coffee date

Not one of his bests, it felt like it was wanting to say more.

And yet I don't think I cared to hear what wasn't being said.

It felt like a moment in time that was best forgotten.

Another fantastic read from Neil Gaiman - strange and wonderful as most of his books are. The art perfectly fits the story and enhances the storyline.

4Q 3P / The comic style of this book is very fitting for the story presented. An adaptation of the short story from Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions Gaiman and Zulli bring to life pecular nature of the characters and the circus. This book would be very useful while studying short stories, illistration techniques, or film noir styles.
