    <body><![CDATA[I've never read Far From the Madding Crowd, which this comic is loosely based on, so I'll have to respond on the merits of it on its own. The characters are well-drawn and the plot well-crafted. I will say, even though Tamara Drewe seems like she's supposed to be the main character (hence the title)...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46168819">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Tamara Drewe centers around a year at a writers' retreat in rural England.  It mixes comics with a lot of text, the text being narration by the various characters.  I liked this book a bit more than 3 stars.  There are a lot of great scenes and Simmonds juggles a lot of interesting characters.

    <body><![CDATA[A groundbreaking marriage of novel and comic book.  Really a lot going on here, more than in most graphic novels.  Seamless segues from text to comic book panels and back again, and it all works in this meeting of murder mystery and comedy of modern manners.

    <body><![CDATA[Beautiful to look at, though a fairly unlikeable story. This is the bit where I admit I've never read 'Far From The Madding Crowd', only cheated with the summary on Wikipedia (and in summary, it reads like a year's worth of 'McLeod's Daughters' condensed, sheep bloat and all).

    <body><![CDATA[For a Thomas Hardy novel, “Far From the Madding Crowd” is a lighthearted romp: though it’s full of darkness and death, at least the two main characters, shepherd Gabriel Oak and independent beauty Bathsheba Everdene, remain alive and wed at the denouement.
