    A tasty treat
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 8, 2012*

I was drawn to the book because Tobin and Coover always produce enjoyable tales, and this is no exception.  I enjoyed its quirkiness, multiple  points of view, and delightful artwork.  Colleen draws cute girls like no other!  There's a lot to like about this book, and I recommend it.

    Who is Annah Billips?
  

*by H***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 31, 2012*

There are some things that are known for certain about twenty-seven-year-old Annah Billips. She likes massages and staring contests and traveling, among other things, while she hates Eighties fashions, public bathrooms, and sunburns. She dates both men and women, her parents have been divorced since she was young, and she has a sister named Ginger who is currently missing. Or maybe she doesn't have a sister, and she's just crazy. Maybe she doesn't even know herself. It seems that no one really knows Annah very well.The graphic novel "Gingerbread Girl" teams author Paul Tobin with artist Colleen Coover in a somewhat whimsical tale that blurs the lines between what's real and what the mind makes real. Annah's story - that her mad scientist father extracted part of her brain and used it to create Ginger - might sound crazy, but the way she tells it makes it sound strangely plausible. The novel is narrated by a series of different characters, many directly connected to Annah, while some have a vague relationship or don't know her at all; this helps keep the story flowing in a fun way. Coover's illustrations add depth and character, keeping the story light but focused. This fun and fresh new story is definitely recommended.Originally published for San Francisco/Sacramento Book Reviews.

    Clever story and fantastic artwork

ARC copy provided by netGalleyThis is the story of Annahnette (Annah) Billips...who may or may not have a missing sister.  But there are plenty of things that we do know for sure about her.  She dates both boys and girls (she really likes Afros), she's 27 years old, like sushi, hates beer breath...and oh yeah her parent's divorced when she was 9.  Annah says that her mad scientist father extracted part of her brain, the part that deals with emotions, and great it into a twin sister.  In this novel multiple narrators introduce us to who Annah is as we follow her through the city one night on a date.I love how this story is told.  Its just such a unique way of introducing the main character, the various elements of her life, and what we should know about her.  The fact that it's presented by multiple different narrators allows us to see Annah from different perspectives and how different people view her and what she says is her life story.  It's almost like piecing together a mystery, does she really have a sister?  And I love that we never really get told whether she does or not, but the writers present us evidence on both sides so we get to form our own conclusion.  Even better for me, is that although its a short book I feel like I know the characters, even the supporting ones that don't really say much.  They say enough that you can recognize them as that guy that you know down the block or that waitress that you keep trying to flirt with.  The authors do a fantastic job of building the characters so that we feel like we know them.  And the story flows smoothly never missing a beat.I love the artwork in this book.  It reminds me a lot of the style that Craig Thompson uses in his book "Blankets."  It's a nice flowing line, with good detail in the background without being overwhelming.  And they capture the human form so well!  I can just picture the people in real life and seeing them because that's how they move.  It helps make the characters feel like real people.  And the layout of the book is absolutely fantastic and really helps the story flow.I cannot say enough good things about this book and I'm just completely blown away by the storytelling and the artwork in it.  I give it 5 stars out of 5 and highly, highly recommend it.  It's picks up for the 20/30 generation where Scott Pilgrim left off.
