Got to find out more about Mr Jepperd and his backstory. Great installment to the series!

Re-read: 06.18.19My thoughts are the same as before. I love every piece of backstory and the little clues to the origin of the sickness. Such a well-written volume.Original Review:4 StarsDo you remember when I said in my review of volume 1 that I was intrigued by this graphic novel?Well, now I'm just fascinated by this world and this story.Volume 2: In Captivity is a darker volume. I feel like Vol. 1 was more heavy on the ambiance and in building up the setting, but this one is a much better cra...

4.5 StarsThis second volume is much dark as it brings elements of horror into this science fiction dystopian. The backstories were quite emotional while the current timeline kept the narrative moving forward at a good pace.

The second book of Jeff Lemire's apocalyptic sci-fi horror "Sweet Tooth" sees our hero Gus in a concentration camp with fellow human-animal hybrid kids who are being experimented on in a Dr Mengele-like fashion. But wait, the yuks just keep on coming! Jepperd, the Judas of the first book, is given his day in court also and we learn of his tragic relationship with his now-deceased wife, and we find out clues about the origin of the mysterious plague that has ruined this reality. Lemire expands on...

Gus is a human/animal hybrid living in a world destroyed by a deadly plague. He's now in captivity in some kind of Dr. Mengele-style camp that experiments on hybrid children in order to find a cure to the plague.Jeppards is the man who left behind Gus at the camp. We explore his origins going through the beginnings of the plague with his wife. We see what turned him this former hockey enforcer into the cold-hearted badass he is today. It's a great volume that sets up the rest of the story with s...

This was so depressing and scary, but also sooo good!

Jeff Lemire gives us more insight about the world of Sweet Tooth, and the character of Mr. Jepperd. His backstory gives the character more depth and nuance, and it has been portrayed beautifully.

An emotionally-heavy story-arc giving away Jeppard's heartbreaking story while drawing brilliant parallels to Gus' captivity. The attempt to further explore the world in which evolves this story makes this a fantastic story-arc that offers readers the chance to familiarize and connect to these characters, leading them to the cliffhanger ending that makes this a series that is simply unputdownable.Yours truly,Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote.com/

Much better than the first one in my opinion! Explored several aspects of the back story of this world. I had been bored with volume one but this one got me intrigued to find out more. But I do find a lot of the depictions pretty unsettling.

In this volume: ***POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD***STOP IF YOU MUST***2nd WARNING: ***POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD***--Gus sees other hybrids in captivity.--We learn about Jeppard's past, his pregnant wife, and how they were tricked into captivity by the same people who now have Gus in captivity. His wife died in childbirth and Jeppard must bring a new hybrid (which is where Gus comes in) in exchange for his wife's remains.--While in captivity, Doctor tries to hypnotize Gus to see if he has any memory of h...

The storyline is picking up. Finding out more arsehole things that’s happened. Bunch of jerks naturally 🤔Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾

It's flashback time as we learn more about Gus and Jepperd's respective pasts. Jepperd's in particular will remind Lemire fans of his Essex County stories, what with the hockey and all. This series reads quickly, or maybe that's my eagerness to find out what happens next ...

This volume is intriguing. It expands on the backstories of the two main characters and although it leaves a lot of things unanswered, I'll be seeing it through to the end.

[4.5 Stars]

Some parts were a lot better than others but it was a great volume. I loved the backstory to Jeppards life and we got to see what was in the duffle!!! Fantastic series so far!

Oh my, we're getting somewhere interesting now!At the end of the last book, the grizzled Jepperd had traded the hillbilly hybrid kid, Gus, to a facility for the contents of a duffel bag.The End.Now we find out that Jepperd has a past and maybe a heart, as well. But mainly, we find out that Gus is more than he appears to be, and his origin story is steeped less in the woods and more in science than he was led to believe.I really didn't think I was going to like this very much, but it looks like

Finally I had the chance to read the second volume of Sweet Tooth!Lemire gives us the backstory of Jepperd which keep surprising me, not exactly by what happens but by interlocking it with events from the present. Sweet Tooth is also being held by a bunch of men who want animal-children to investigate how the plague came to be and stop it. Or at least that how they justify their deplorable action. We learn more about Sweet Tooth past and some interesting things (and questions) arise. This volume...

This series is grim dystopian stuff, with a sweet hybrid boy-deer as a main character who may hold the key to why the plague has happened, or how they can survive it, because he, at 9, like all the other hybrid kids, seems to be immune as dark chaos ensues everywhere. The first book is intriguing, suspenseful, grim, something like The Road in its post-apocalyptic horror (and hope), but in this book we get more background on what has happened, and also more back story on the guy who sold the kid

Bullet Review:Really picking up speed, fleshing out background and characters.

Oh the FEELS in this book. I had my doubts about Jeff Lemire drawing this by himself, but that has LONG GONE. Is the art perfect and clean and digital? No. But it's not supposed to be. It's gritty and dirty and a little f*cked up because that is what this book is. The ride that this volume takes you on is intense. Learning about Jeppard's past and his motives is incredibly moving. I had tears welling up in my eyes more than once. I also really like how well-paced the book is. There's none of the...
