Maria McBride is a little shy and a little awkward. So when she runs smack into--literally--the new guy at school, she doesn't know quite what to do. Tom's kind, good-looking, and well-built. And he's clearly drawn to Maria. But he turns down her tentative invites and seems very reluctant to talk about his past and his family--especially his father, the town's new funeral...more

Well, this was a let down. I had really enjoyed the first graphic novel in this series, I Love Him to Pieces, so I was looking forward to this one, too. But it seems every entry in the series will have a different writer and illustrator. And this was not an upgrade.

One of the things that I liked best about I Love Him to Pieces was the sweet, natural course that Dicey and Jack's romance took. But Tom and Maria take us right back to insta-love, which is really getting irritating to me. They're in...more

Review (Spoiler Alert! I found it impossible to review this without giving away quite a bit of the plot):
The story starts just after a car crash killed three popular cheerleaders, all named Erica (a sly nod to the movie "Heathers", and a great comment on the cookie-cutter nature of high school popularity). This should appeal to the underdog mentality of most teens and tweens. Basically, Made For Each Other is a fun and modern update on Mary Shelley's legendary Frankenstein. In this graphic nove...more

They have fun together, when they can, but Tom’s father keeps him too busy for much of anything outside of work. Maria tries to visit Tom at home but the creepy assistant Mr. Graves makes it clear to Maria she is not wanted. Not around the funeral home and not around Tom. Tom won’t help Maria; he refuses to stand up to his father. Maria knows she and Tom are meant for each other, and becomes determined to find out why Dr. Stone, who now runs the local funeral home, does not want her around. Dr Stone keeps his son busy in the funeral home’s basement, late at night. Meanwhile, people in Persephone Falls, Alaska are dying in quick succession, keeping Dr. Stone’s funeral home exceptionally busy for a small Alaskan town. Soon, Maria puts the clues she has gathered together. What she finds is a family who are busy recycling . . . in a way Maria has never before seen.

This is the second graphic novel in the My Boyfriend is a Monster series. Once again the story is told in a way that will keep you wondering for most of the tale. . The illustrations, in black and white, are excellent, rendering the characters in a way the shows their personalities. Tom, a sophomore, has the build of Hulk and a stature that nearly matches Michael Jordon (though I doubt Tom knows who either of these guys are). When Tom defends Maria and her three friends, the bullies backs away from Tom, reverting to their true characters: cowards. Maria is rather strong for a young girl who recently lost her parents in a car accident and then three friends in the same manner, prior to the start of school. She accepts Tom without question, even after he tells her his version of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. This is one of the best scenes of the book and the illustrations enhance Tom’s tale beautifully.

The writing is well paced and authentic, just as the first novel was, and can easily be read in one sitting. When Dr. Stone threatens Maria and her aunt, the action becomes the kids versus . . . well, I’ll let the reader find out on his or her own. I just hate spoilers. Made for Each Other will please graphic novel loving teens as well as the first, I Love Him to Pieces, surely did. Any parent wanting to introduce their youngster to graphic novels, this series is a perfect venue. Strong writing, odd stories with twists unexpected and fine illustrations that will have you looking as well as reading are beginning to be the hallmarks of the My Boyfriend is a Monster series. Made for Each Other and its series are highly recommended.

I absolutely loved the first book in this loosely connected graphic novel series, "My Boyfriend Is a Monster 1: I Love Him to Pieces". I thought it was the perfect example of a great graphic novel, with great story, great plot, great characterization, and great use of the zombie apocalypse theme. But this second installment in the series has both a completely different writer and a completely different artist, and I just don't see the same shine and charm.

"Made for Each Other" gives us high school couple Maria and Tom - they bump into each other in the hallway at school and were both immediately smitten from the start. When Maria surprises the shy and reclusive Tom at his combination home/funeral-parlor, she's a little surprised to find out that Tom's dad is the literary Frankenstein's Creation, and Tom (and an ever-increasing entourage of siblings) is assembled from body parts scavenged from the funeral home. Maria takes this in stride, however, and soon the two are happily dating. But why are so many people in their small town suddenly having fatal accidents?

This isn't a bad story, but a lot of what I loved from the first installment has been removed. The characterization is rushed and heavily stereotyped - Maria and Tom feel like blank (but attractive!) cardboard personalities, and the "romance" between them is incredibly rushed. They fall in love almost at first sight in the first chapter, Maria doesn't think twice about Tom's odd condition, and they act like a perfect married couple from then on - it's a sharp and unpleasant contrast to the realistic high school romance in the first novel.

The Frankenstein plot isn't terrible, but it feels a little bland. I would have preferred Tom and his father to just be "like" the Frankenstein Creation, not THE Frankenstein Creation. Pretty much everyone takes the whole thing in stride, from Maria to her high school friends, and it just feels...unnatural. There's also this cutesy naming scheme throughout the novel that is distracting and not very funny to me - Maria's last name is "McBride" (aka, Bride of Frankenstein), Tom's name is "Tom B Stone" (tombstone), and other names here include "Graves" and "Hedy" (headstone).

I also don't feel like the artistry is as sharp and clean and pretty as the first installment - there's a much heavier emphasis on "background textures" (of the abstract variety) and "sound effects" drawn over the characters. Overall, I guess this is an okay graphic novel, but I wouldn't have stuck with it if I hadn't liked the first so much, and I wasn't really thrilled with it. I hope the third in the series concentrates more on the details (both artwork and characterization) and less on trying to make the designated monster plot "cute".

I'm going to have to break my review into two parts since this is a graphic novel done by two different people. The first part will be about the illustrator's work, the second will be about the author & the actual story.

First off, the artwork in this was pretty well done. Cowgur did a decent job of catching emotions as well as making me feel as if I had been reading a pulp horror comic, which suits the story. His art really was the high point of the book.

Let me preface my review:
-I know this is a young adult comic.
-And I know that I am relatively new to the genre.
-As such maybe my expectations are still too high in what to expect from a comic book.....

However, I do expect a good story, whether it be in the plot or in the pictures throughout the comic itself. In this particular comic, I was expecting comedy and fun. Instead the story was just...unbelievable.

While the previous book in the series was fluffy and fun, Made for Each Other left me thinking, "Meh." Made for Each Other was occasionally funny, Tom and Maria were a cute couple, and the premise an interesting one, but the story seemed to move too fast for the time frame. While it was clear to me that at times Storrie was making fun of pulp comics, I don't know if the younger audience will catch that. They might see it more as being corny than a spoof.

So despite the change in authors, I was looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, while being almost precisely the same type of story, Made for Each Other just didn't make the same kind of so-adorable impression as Love Him to Pieces. In fact, it didn't really make any impression at all.

I'm actually kinda at a loss to figure out why Love Him to Pieces worked for me and Made for Each Other didn't. Maybe it's the subject matter? It's easy for me to get into a story about zombies, but a story about a girl who falls in love with Frankenstein's monster's new monster is bound to come with some (less-familiar) absurdities. Maybe it's the characters? The heroine Maria and her love interest, Tom, aren't quite as instantly likable as Dicey and Jack, nor is their relationship as well-explored. And the story, while far more unique than Pieces, just wasn't as interesting to see played out. With Pieces, I was cheerfully along for the ride; here, I was hardly able to see the forest for the plot holes.

But let's start from the beginning: Made for Each Other is indeed the story of a teenaged girl falling in love with a Frankenstein monster. I suppose it was only a matter of time. Anyway, in this case, the monster is Tom, a cute but quiet young man newly transferred to Maria's school in the town of Persephone Falls, Alaska. He and Maria meet and, naturally, fall into insta!love, but Tom is unable to socialize with anyone outside of school due to his obligation to help his father, Franklin Stone, with his work as the local undertaker. One night, Maria makes the mistake of driving down to visit Tom in his home, and accidentally catches a glimpse of his father's lab, in which a new body is being assembled from the corpses of three recently dead cheerleaders. SURPRISE!

Sounds gruesome, right? But Maria takes it remarkably well, as Tom tells her the story behind his father's creation (he's Frankenstein's monster, and ended up frozen in a block of ice for 200 years in Antarctica after the good doctor died), his own (Stone is in fact a brilliant scientist himself, and was able to recreate and finesse his creator's trick of bringing the dead back to life), and their motive for being in Persephone Falls (to get more corpses and make more monsters out of them, of course!).

You can see the cheesy in the back story, which puts the book on about the intellectual level of a Scooby-Doo cartoon, but what really got me was Maria's reaction - she's totes cool with it. All of it. After all, "It's kind of like a transplant", right? And it's "better than people just rotting in the ground". I mean, the new creatures are just like test tube babies! LIKE TOTALLY.

And of course, Tom himself isn't a monster. He's ~dreamy~.

From there, the conflict is driven by Stone's cheerleader amalgamation, Hedy...

Made for Each Other is a quick, easy and fun graphic novel.

I liked the Frankenstein plot. It was different from all those vampire and werewolf stories, which I like, but also can become boring at times. There was suspense, action and it was fast paced. I read this story in one sitting and I just couldn’t stop reading it.

And some how they love each other. Maria makes Bella swan look tough in comparison these characters are dry rip offs of edward and Bella really dull and bland D

Story: Wow this story was a mess. New girl transfers to new school after parents died, runs into new boy they fall in love new boy has secret and...wow this story wasn't only a pale comparison to twilight (just replace vampire with Frankenstein) but it also fails as a story brining up to many questions and to little answers. This story is more nit pick then good. Starting with the couple the first three pages give us maria then page four she runs into tom they barely speak ok fine. Then not even a chapter in and they meet again and almost kiss and they don't know ANYTHING about each other and already he says she is amazing yeah ok...what? The “My boyfriend is a monster series” says that its all about the “insight into real-world relationships.” and “ The stories respect and show real love for their genre roots, and keep a grounding in real-life teen concerns.” so How in the world is meeting for two seconds and then wanting to kiss each other “ insight into real- world relationships?” HOW!? Maria and Toms relationship is also at its core really sick she is basicly dating a reanimated corpse which is NOHING like being an organ donor!!! (despite her insisting it is) though out the story Tom's father makes a new girl who is suppose to be for tom it really goes down hill from there and ends on a “what now?” note.
This story is flat flat flat and confusing it could have been good but to many variables make it to weird and confusing also the writer knows NOTIHNG of time transitions F

Cover: The cover is amazing! With Maria and Tom looking up at fear at his father who is all in shadow it really brings you in and makes it suspenseful very eye catching and classic monster movie poster style the colors are amazing as is the artwork here B

Made for Each Other is the second book in the "My Boyfriend is a Monster" series. As a fan of graphic novels, I'm always raring to pick up a new set! So I dove into the second one with as much fervor as the first.

I think it should be mentioned that I didn't realize until after I started reading that each novel in this series has a different story line, along with different characters. This particular installment follows Maria McBride as she delves into the mysteriousness that surrounds the new boy, Tom Stone. He's unlike any other boy in her high school class. Dark, brooding, and downright handsome. Maria makes it her goal to find out why he's being so distant.

First, as always, let's talk illustrations. One of my favorite parts about these is that they are in black and white. It's not that I don't love color illustrations, I do. There's just something about the black and white that speaks volumes to me. The ability to tell such a vivid story without color is astounding. That being said, the illustrations in Made for Each Other are rather simple, but lovely. They fit the story perfectly and each panel is filled with detail. Right down to the wrinkles on Maria's mother's face, they are beautifully done.

In terms of story, that's where this one lost a star for me. Again, each graphic novel in the series has different characters, and is also (I found out) written by a different author. Although I liked Maria and Tom, I just couldn't fall in love with them as much as I would have liked to. Without spoiling anything I can definitely tell you that this is a different kind of story. What Tom is, well, it definitely adds a story element that keeps things fresh. However, as I said, I just didn't fall in love with it as much as the last installment. Maybe I'm just predisposed to love zombies. Who knows.

I'll quit rambling here. I am honestly still in love with this series, and look forward to the next installment! I can't wait to see what "My Boyfriend is a Monster" has in store for us. If you are a lover of graphic novels, give these a shot. If you haven't yet taken the big plunge into graphic novels, these are a great way to start! (less)

Why not? A Twilight-esque retelling of all things, Frankenstein's monster.

And by Twilight-esque, I mean, taking something that is typically found in literature to NOT be a sexy teenager, and turn it into a sexy teenager that feels the need to whip off his shirt and show the fragile human girl what's going on underneath.

But it wasn't backwards and cringe-worthy by any means.

So it was good that I decided to stick with the series. This second volume of "My boyfriend is a monster" was a big improvement from the first one.

Leaving zombies behind, this particular tale brings us face to face with Frankestein. I really enjoyed the story, how it progressed and the characters. The tale was more realistic (as far as fiction goes) and better paced than its previous counterpart. Definitely recommended for Tweens and Teens :)

2nd book involving Frankenstein's monster. Maria is incredibly accepting of the new boy, Tom, whom she has an enormous crush on. Especially since Tom is not 100% human. The rest of his "family" doesn't quite approve of their relationship, eventually forcing them to fight for it. Not quite as fun and touching as the first book, but still an enjoyable read.
