Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

2005-03-03 A must have for fans of P. Craig Russell or fantasy...

While some people may know of P. Craig Russell from his contribution to Neil Gaiman's The Sandman ("Ramadan" #50) and the adaptation of the latter's short story "Murder Mysteries", he is actually famous for his adaptations of various opera pieces into the medium of comics. Now NBM has had the good taste to release a series of three volumes entitled The P. Craig Russell Library of Opera Adaptations once more making many of his adaptations available to new audiences. The Magic Flute is the first volume in this series and contains Russell's 138 pages long adaptation of Mozart's classical master piece.

For those not familiar with the story (or perhaps not even opera), there is no need to worry. The Magic Flute is ultimately a very well told piece of fantasy (or fairy tale) with a sense of farce in it and Russell's artwork is very fitting for these kinds of stories. The Queen of Night sends Prince Pamino on a quest to rescue her daughter Pamina from the cruel despot Sarastro. Together with the bird-catcher Papageno, Prince Pamino enters an adventure that develops into a classic tale of good and evil.

A must have for fans of P. Craig Russell or fantasy... or just about anybody who enjoys a well told story.
