Brilliant for YABy abydos6This Graphic Novel is good if you are a tween, which I am not, I bought it as I was looking for female orientated graphic Novels, and books. Some sections I did enjoy, and I think this title is awesome for teens or YA. Well done.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not my thing.By B. FoleyWith a name like Giant Days you would expect some fantasy. Nope. It's just a comic about 3 young British girls going to college. It's also pretty predictable.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy GabrielaIncredibly smart and funny. This series has single-handedly gotten back into comics full swing. Between the emotive art and crisp dialogue, it's an easy story to binge-read.Would recommend this to anyone, really, but especially those new to comics.
