labyrinth — kate mosse

Alice and Alaïs are two women con­nected through time and secrets. Alice, liv­ing in 2005, finds a cave with two skele­tons in it. How old are these, why are they here and who are they? As soon as she dis­cov­ered them it is obvi­ous they are very impor­tant still to some peo­ple and Alice is now involved in a big web of deceit, crime and a very reli­gious cult full of secrets.
Many cen­turies ear­lier we fol­low Alaïs, a young woman with a free spirit but within walls. All the secrets Alice is strug­gling with start with her and through her eyes we will gather the infor­ma­tion to under­stand the secrets that should have been bur­ried for eternity.

black jack two-fisted surgeon (vol. 2) — osamu tezuka

1 star

Black Jack is a sur­geon with­out a license, but he per­forms the most dif­fi­cult and amaz­ing surg­eries for big bucks. Peo­ple in real trou­ble will con­tact him as a last resort and he always pulls through.

This book has nine chap­ters — nine surg­eries — but none of them con­finced me I was read­ing some­thing I could like. The sto­ries, as the char­ac­ters, were shal­low. For me this book shouldn’t be allowed to call itself graphic novel.
