"I have just met two of the most likable and remarkable characters, Lev and Kolya, young Russian men trying to survive the Siege of Leningrad who are given a chance to save themselves from death if they can find a dozen eggs for the wedding cake of the daughter of a powerful and ruthless Russian colonel. Thus begins an odyssey that is at times disturbing, but the beauty of this novel is in the writing. It contains humor along with sadness, and these two men forge a friendship that is priceless." --Carol Katsoulis, Anderson's Bookshop, Naperville, IL

"Adapted from the Academy Award-nominated animated film, Waltz With Bashir stands by itself as a brilliant graphic memoir in its own right. It grapples not only with enforced military participation in evil and the psychological after-effects of the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, but also with memory and the devious alternates to true remembering. Waltz With Bashir is a production of love, a moody masterpiece of art styles and narrative sophistication." --Nick DiMartino, University Book Store, Seattle, WA
