Rating: - Great follow-up story marred by bad rewrite
I consider myself a well read fellow. With that in mind I say in all honesty that Moonshadow is the most moving and important books I have ever read. Having first read the story as a teen in 1985 I identified strongly with the honest story telling of the transition of boy to man. Now this volume adds to the first by adding a story of Moonshadow's adult years. It is as brilliant and moving as the first and all the more meaningful to me now as I am maturing, as well.

HOWEVER: Be WARNED! The ending of the first story, Moonshadow's jouney to awakening, has been vandalized with a rewrite. The last pages have been stained with changed dialog and excessive narration that dilute the meaning and convert a thoughtful exploration of the transendant into a parade of cliche's. I recommend this book for the additional Moonshadow tale but, to get the full value from this wonderful tale one needs to seek out the original volumes with the original text and meaning.

Rating: - This book was insane
To put it bluntly, I found this book slow moving and boring. I don't have the trade paperback, but the 12 arc series. I found the sexual references out of place and pointlessly sickening, and the characters difficult to understand. THe names were childish enough, but the storyline was destationless and impossible. I wouldn't advise anybody to buy this. Yeah, it's imaginative and yes the watercolour plates are interesting enough, but the storyline needs complete help. As a comic collector, I'd recommend the Mandrake/Ostrander Spectre series from the late 90's for a real adventure.

Rating: - Life Changing
I remember reading the series of books when I was younger - and it changed my perspective of life. I never had the complete series and have searched for it for years. If I had known finding it was this easy I would have tried long ago.

Rating: - this book is to confusing
i recently read this book with hopes that it would be an interesting talke of how a child grows up and becomes oneself. This book however was intersting up to the quarter of the book. It jumps around the story with no absolute desintation and the world the characters live in are ubsurd and unbelievable. I quickly got tired of this book waiting for it to end because it seemed no to have a destination.
