<b>My rating: 4.5</b> I had waited so long to read this, and had heard so much about it, that I was disappointed at the beginning because it did not seem as amazing as everyone was making it out to be. However I kept reading and discovered that I actually began to enjoy it. I am looking forward to reading what happens next.

This show was a pleasant surprise. I was mainly watching for Christina Hendricks who I really like. The story is interesting, the characters are well thought out, and there is a good mix of drama, action, and humor. The cast is great and play off each other really well making you want to know what happens next. I am looking forward to season 3.

Originally reviewed on http://www.frommybookshelf.com

I picked this up on a whim (I find that I really enjoy most Image titles), and what started out as a seemingly fluff story about fashion bloggers and their rather shallow lives takes a surprising turn into something more... sinister? A mysterious "resurrection", possible supernatural elements, a stalker, a police investigation into the possible death of the possibly resurrected friend, and another possible murder. Or is it all just an allergy drug-induced hallucination? We'll have to wait until the next collected edition to find out more, but needless to say I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly intrigued to find out what happens next.

Excellent story line of what could of happened if the USA didn't win world war 2. (1 more)
I love the unexpected plot twists that keep you on your toes and wanting to see what happens next.
A few episodes are very gory and graphic including but not limited to people being shot, stabbed, beheaded and hung. Sometimes it was a bit too graphic for me. But it may be accurate as to what happens in Japan and other countries so that is eye opening. (0 more)
Great story line of what ifs
Not for children. It may give them nightmares and since child can take things literally, they may not fully understand the fact that it's a fictional show depicting a different life had things of been different during world war 2

Great for history buff though and theologists and philosophers as this covers both and asks, what if things didn't end well for the USA?
  
Well-written high fantasy, but honestly, it just went on too long. So far, everybody has lost someone important. Anybody who loves anyone seems to be doomed. Betrayals are everywhere, and that's something I find profoundly disturbing.

The book did end on a note of hope, and I want to know what happens next. I just don't know if I want it enough to slog through (at least) two more volumes.

Well that was different - I didn't expect that when I jumped into this book, granted I didn't really read the description first. I'm definitely loving the video game books lately and this one was interesting to say the least. I'm definitely on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happens next, but there were a few slow moments for me that I got a little bored at.
