I reread the whole Amulet comic book series by Kazu Kibuishi over the last few days, as it was picked by Dave for our next family book club meeting.

The art is gorgeous - especially all the double-page spreads - I love all the characters, and I'm impressed by the depth and complexity of the story and the emotional arcs.

I didn't enjoy it quite as much this time around - but it's still awesome.

At the start of Snap by Belinda Bauer, three young children are left in a car by the side of a motorway when it breaks down and their mother leaves them to find an emergency phone to call for help - and never comes back...
Things devolve quickly from there in quite unpleasant ways - and, after not that far into the book, I decided it wasn't for me. I wasn't invested enough in the mystery to want to find out what happened and parts of it were quite creepy in a way I wasn't keen on.
So, a DNF, unfortunately.
