Crit Out Of Books Berlin, Vol. 1: City of Stones (Berlin #1)

Some beautiful art, particularly some lovely wordless spreads. But the dialogue isn't great, and the drawings of people are (a) not great, and (b) somewhat too interchangeable.

The first thing that I noticed about this novel was the artwork. I like the simple clean cut lines that give us such depth and emotion to the characters and the worlds around them. Jason captures the gritty city life well in decaying buildings, the rooftops where the art students hang out, and the traffic circles. The one thing that did trouble me was that some of the faces were...manish in appearance. I had to look at the clothing and the hair style to see if it was a male or female character

If you could read a movie this is what it would be like. Can't wait for book 2 and 3!

This book starts the series Lutes has devoted years to creating, the story of Germany between the wars. The story follows the lives of several people, a journalist riling against the rise of fascism, a young art student conflicted with her feelings of love for other women, a married woman who is thrown out of her family by her husband for her leanings toward communism, as well as others.

Not a great read for me personally: I am already familiar with the history covered in the book, and was not particularly engaged by any of the characters/subplots.But it was well done insofar as it went, and if you want an easy intro to the political issues and social milieu of Weimar-era Berlin, this would certainly be a painless way of learning.

Ive always had an interest in Berlin during the Weimar Republic, maybe aided by the fact that so much has been written about it, and that Berlin then, much like Paris, was a city when everything was possible in the arts and culture and for people seeking alternative lifestyles. But it was also a place where disaster was brewing and when a person like me, who lost family members in the ensuing catastrophe, likes to imagine that perhaps things might have taken a different course. In the first part

Let me start this review exactly as I started my review of Lutes' Jar of Fools. Ahem. "Honestly, I don't know what all the hoopla is with Jason Lutes' Berlin, because Jar of Fools is where it's at."Not that Berlin is a terrible book by any means, it's just boring and uneventful most of the time. While this is just the beginning of what will be Lutes' trilogy on the Weimar republic and Germany in between wars, Book 1: City of Stones can be quite a frustrating read. It's essentially a mishmash of
