There's something about this series. It's not the best one I've read but I find it really engaging. Both the investigation and how it plays out throughout and the on/off thing between Jameson and Nikki.

I'm definitely interested in continuing the series.

Engaging mystery
Well rounded characters
Good ending
Absolutely amazing!
"Spirit Circle" is an amazing manga that pairs characters that are well rounded and have interesting motivations with a story that is genuinely engaging. The main characters Fuuta and Kouko are dynamic and sympathetic, while not overpowering the side characters. Additionally, the manga isn't overstuffed with the traditional tropes that you would expect to find in an adventure. The art is beautiful and fits the mood perfectly.

Overall, it's just an amazing read and I would highly recommend it if you are into a good mystery.

Not sure why Marvel would decide to cancel this line, it's among the best on-going series out there at the moment. Set between New Hope and Empire, the threats to Vader are no less real and engaging. Such a rich character deserves this series.

Painful but thoroughly worthwhile reading experience
  
Combining artworks and short storytelling, this graphic novel gives an interesting account of the New York experience over the last several decades. While some moments are especially engaging, there are a few too many that fall flat to make this more than passingly entertaining.

When the first trailer came out for this I wasn’t sure on the concept, it looked intriguing but figured it might be too gimmicky. So not the case, it was engaging from start to finish, and I thought the use of technology was done perfectly!

I think I would have enjoyed this more as a print book. The narrator of the audio version was just kind of annoying and over the top, especially when voicing Heidi's mother.

Movie Favorite

"An early Fellini masterpiece and a deeply engaging story about the triumph of the human spirit over adversity and betrayal. You will fall in love with Giulietta Masina. Her last scene is one of the most emotionally moving film sequences I have ever watched."
