Of Walking in Ice: Munich-Paris, 11/23 to 12/14, 1974 by Werner Herzog
5.0
Wonderful use of language, sentence fragments and ideas as they occur to the author. Loneliness while alone, while surrounded by strangers, nature, in a pub. He feels a strong connection when finally reunited with his friend at the end. I am curious if such a walk today, with a series of B and E's, could be accomplished today. there was so much hunger and sadness in this book. Maybe if I suffer enough I could save my friend. Really great book, I want to reread again in the future.

Some aspects towards the end are a little rushed.
Enjoyed the art-style, and how specific the author/artist was towards the food they were making, their goals, their personalities. Specificity allows the characters to really shine as individuals. many of them were too impulsive with words, or not thinking about the impact their actions had, and faced consequences for it, which I appreciated. Liked the art style and color scheme.

Snow, Glass, Apples by Neil Gaiman
From an art perspective, all the non-human(oid) drawings were pretty interesting and fun to look at. This process sounded very labor intensive -- so much by hand, and so much thrown out for small mistakes, especially earlier in the process. Whew!
Text to image formatting was interesting, well-spaced.
The story itself, it was kind of boring to be honest? Not bad, just... okay, I guess. Maybe it was a bigger, more novel idea when it came out and dark fantasy is just too saturated, but I guess I just didn't really get the hype.

Prince of Cats by Ron Wimberly
Interesting premise -- why were these young people so willing to risk their lives?
