Much darker and more sinister than Emily the Strange, despite the brief presence of pastels and a couple of Beatles allusions. I suspect I'll need to reread it several times in order to catch all the subtleties the illustrators offer. For all you doc students or researchers out there, here's a quotation for you: "Purrspective depends...on your point of skew." Was this a somewhat superficial insight or a nerd joke? Hmmmm....
Very light on text, but with bold, beautiful illustrations that use subversive wordplay and familiar images to show Emily's strange reality. For example, Escher's stair picture with the caption, "A step in the wrong direction is the right way to get lost," and Emily as Dorothy with the cation, "There's no place like alone, unless you have an evil twin."
The shiny, secret, UV-coated graphics (which can only be seen if tilted in certain directions) are especially cool. Another fun & dark adventure with Emily the Strange.
Love the mazes , circus scene, and especially Emily. La amo.
La pieza interior is very cool.
Nicely designed, interestingly colored.

I loved the artwork in this book it was fascinating.
I would read this book to demented little goth kids.
A perfect balance between clever and dark.
I really liked this book! It's cute and it's prosey and even though I thought that maybe some pages had glow in the dark secret messages it was still cool when I found out that it didn't. I would love to own more books like this. BTW this was one of the gifts I got from my best friend for my birthday ;)
How do I review a book with less than 20 words?
Well...
Amazing illustration, I really do love Emily the Strange.
