Reviews for Morning Glories Vol. 1

[girlsonfire · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was a strange book, but I had to keep reading to find out what was going on. It's a bit violent, but the story and characters grabbed me and kept me reading. Of course it leaves you hanging- guess I'll have to read the next one.

A friend of mine was posting on tumblr about this series and it looked interesting enough for me to read and so I managed to get a copy. She was right, it was AWESOME. It's about a very creepy high school and some new students who are trying to fight back -- and it's not going very where. There's death and violence, there's gore and love and some of the best art I've seen in a graphic novel. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but it's perfect for me.

I'm not sure how I feel about this graphic novel yet. It's about this prep school where weird things are going on. I'm not even sure what the weird things are yet, but I know lots of people die. Not a great description I know, but that's really the best I got for this. I think it may make more sense if I read more of them. I think I would read more of them if I was able to get them used or at a good discount.

I love this combination of prep academy meets horror meets mystery meets supernatural.

The first volume does a good job of introducing all the characters, hooking the reader and leaving the story teetering on edge.

If someone asked me to give them a summary of this book, I would have no words. It is an easy book to read quickly, but it is full of some of the creepiest images I have seen. I'm excited to red the second one.

Not a great start. Very confusing and I felt I didn't really get to know any of the characters. Don't see me reading anymore in this series.

A group of teens from different countries and backgrounds converge on a prestigious prep school. They discover they all have the same birthday which is the beginning of mysterious events. There are creepy teachers, a weird ghost thing, and the new students find they are cut off from the outside and that their families seem to have lost all memory of them. The art work in very detailed and show off the well built physiques of the characters.

I've been hearing about this forever. And I picked up the first set a while back when people were crazy rabid, raving about it, and kept picking up. But without actually delving into it. Tonight I finally cracked the spines and sat through most of it gaping and aghast.

It's completely warped and twisted, and you really have no idea quite what is going on anywhere. But I'm definitely compelled to see where this one is going. I like some of the character highlights we've seen so far -- who they are and what makes them different, why they were brought to this school.

I'm definitely going to be looking forward to where this goes, and hoping it keeps itself all together.
