Here is my full series review for volumes 1-6.I knew, I knew, I knew this would destroy my heart somehow.
I'm here for all of these characters, but I am especially here for Gus and Jeppard's relationship. Wonderfully written and incredibly captivating.
This series just keeps getting better. I'd go so far as to say this series--this volume even--represents Lemire's best work to date. This volume starts off with the warm fuzzy, what looks to be a holiday issue. It manages to be happy and sweet without being cloying about it. Of course, being Sweet Tooth, the good times don't last. Our intrepid heroes find themselves in a situation that seems too good to be true. But it seems like someone might have the sickness. And then Gus gets shot ... (not a...
Now that the group has escaped from Abbot, they're huddled in the woods together while trying to decide what to do next.Lucy, Becky, and Wendy get lost for a skinny minute and stumble upon a kind man named Walter who has his very own self-sufficient compound.Lucky ladies!Naturally, Jepperd doesn't trust him. Nor should he! <--what is everyone else thinking?Singh is still toting around the bible that was written by Gus' father. But is it a real prophecy or just the ravings of a madman?Spoilery th...
Sweet Tooth is not just some generic post apocalyptic story. It has got depth, emotions, character development and a well thought out story that has been expertly crafted.
Re-read 06.20.19Guys, guys, only two volumes left and the last page here is so good. If you haven't read Sweet Tooth, what are you waiting for?Original Review:4.5 Stars This is going to destroy me I'm sure of it. I'm gonna end up with my heart broken...What a great volume. THERE'S SOME REVENANT SHIT HAPPENING IN HERE . This volume collects issues #18-#25 and it's, as the previous ones, heartwrenching, sad, but extremely tender and just so beautiful. Issue #18 was definitely my favorite. I don...
Now that the year is winding to a close and my 2013 Reading Challenge as well, I find myself reviewing the books I read this year. I can't believe I forgot to log this, since this was one of the better presents I got last Christmas. My brother sure knows to pick the comics that I would enjoy.Although I would have wanted to start at an earlier volume, the fourth volume is as good as any as a catch on point to Jeff Lemire's Sweet Tooth. I really like the post-apocalyptic vibe of this title which r...
Writer Jeff Lemire cleverly continues to build up the grand finale by forcing Gus and Jepperd into a harsh father-son adventure and introducing the mysterious Walter Fish character who shows everyone a safe haven that just seems too good to be true.Yours truly,Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote.com/

I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING.
This graphic novels series has quickly become one of my favorites. It is an amazing dystopian that has huge adventure, scientific horrors and companionship. I highly recommend this series to anyone who is a fan of dystopian!!!
4.0 StarsThis was another enjoyable volume in the middle of this series.
This has been my favorite in the series so far. It definitely felt like Gus had matured and there are some things happening that are getting intense and brought up a whole slew of new questions I NEED ANSWERS TO. I liked the format of the first half of this, where you have to hold the book sideways to read through it. Thought that was an interesting way to break up the story-telling and the actual story.
Re-read in conjunction with the Netflix series and oh, that pandemic we seem to still be experiencing worldwide. I read it first eight years ago and this time around I like it even better. The best volume so far in the series. Terrific, inventive art and ideas and terrific characters. Frightening post-apocalyptic story with heart. This story happens ten years after billions of people died in a plague and the new babies being born are hybrid. The kids are weird but vulnerable, and adorable. Rough...
Yes . Yess. Yesss. Yessss!!!!
All of the women in this cast get some nicely fleshed out background stories when they come across Walter Fish, a mysterious man with an Eden like oasis. There's definitely more going on, but we have to wait until the next volume to find the rest out. There is a ton of dream sequence stuff in this which I always find to be nonsense for the most part no matter the story. Looking very forward to picking up the next volume now and see how this all turns out.
THIS! Oh hell, this gave me all the emotions that I wanted from the previous volume. Hands down, the best installment of the series yet! I loved getting to know the backgrounds of the various side characters, and it was a nice touch to have different fonts/art styles for the flashbacks. We got to see more from Jepperd in terms of his emotional state & how he's processing the new circumstances around him. It was enthralling. We also have another new batch of characters that make me have so many q...
