Brilliant, Not just for Tori fans July 22, 2008
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
So if you're a Tori-phile, I'm guessing you'll buy the book, no questions asked. You won't be disappointed. Even if you're not a Tori fan, or not even a comic fan (I'm not), I think you'll love the book. Each story is beautifully and fully rendered. It's amazing to see someone else's interpretation of a song that you thought you had figured out all the ins and outs to, and see how far their ideas can be from your own. Several of the stories gave me goosebumps, and I haven't even finished yet. I would recommend considering buying the hard cover or the LE. I got the paper back and it is lovely, but so big that it would be nice to have in hardcover. I'm so pleased to own this book: new ideas to mull over, beautiful stories to move me, and a great conversation piece for my coffee table. Neil Gaimans introduction is beautiful as well.

I hesitated to buy this book at first. I've sort of fallen away from my rabid Tori Amos obsession, but, I was curious about all the hype and press it's getting (in the Tori community) and found a copy on E-Bay. It's stunningly beautiful. I admit, like many of Tori's songs, the message in some of the comics is a bit cryptic. Many of them are obtuse in their words, but gorgeous in their artwork. Some of them are silly in their artwork, but amazing in their story. Any way you slice it or dice it, this is a gorgeous optical orgy. It's hard to not have the songs playing in your head while you're reading the book. I'm hoping they do another volume in the future because there are so many other songs that could be illustrated. Whether you love or hate Tori, you should pick up this book for the amazing artwork and the obvious love and attention they gave to her songs and her muse.
Amazing that i am so amazed July 22, 2008

I'm a pretty hard critic, but this is greatness. The art and the way they manifest it through Tori's lyrics is brilliant. The book is huge and I have to take an evening out by myself to read the whole thing. BUY IT, its the best 20 bucks you'll spend this summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not even halfway through this book and I already am in love with it. It is very big and heavy, but worth the inexpensive price. The art is amazing and each story is different. It's like a woven tapestry of Tori Amos's mind and heart. Her lyrics read like poetry, and the collaboration between author/musician/artist is simply breathtaking. I'd recommend this book to Tori Amos fans everywhere and even to those who are not fans.

I am not a comic book reader, but this book has done an excellent job of introducing me to the genre and the different styles of the comic medium. It is breathtaking, big, and entertaining!
