Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The entire original cartoon epic in its original B&W glory
I find it interesting that a significant number of those giving this less than five-stars complain about this being in black and white and not in color as with the smaller volumes. There is a great reason for this: They were published in Black and White to begin with! The colorized volumes are an addition. Now, I personally love the original pen and ink drawings. If someone wants the colorized versions instead, fine. But please don't labor under the impression that what is published entire ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent, but with New Age overtones.
The Bone books combine a well-drawn and very funny comic book format with a story line that becomes very serious by the end of the series.
The "dreaming", which is a big part of the plot, is very New Age, and Christian parents should be aware of that if their children want to read the books. Otherwise, it is very good.
Rating:  - Annoyed with the publishers
Why did the publisher put all the stories in one edition, and take away the COLOR in the drawings??? Half of the artistic delivery, is the drawings....and an important part of that is the artist's use of color. I wanted the entire collection, and to be able to savor the full experience of story, drawing, color, all as was given in the separate editions.

Rating: - I could not put it down.
I started collecting the comics, but really only as a collector, so I wanted to read the entire story put together. I bought this here on Amazon, for far cheaper then any place else, and started reading it. I read the entire 1200 pages in about two days. I could not put it down. Jeff Smith out together a beautiful and fun story and now it is all together in one big book.
This is the black and white versions just like the comics are, but the full color volumes are really a bit easier on the eyes, ... Read More
Rating:  - This volume is B&W
If you like this series, you should know that this volume is printed completely in black & white, unlike the individual volumes which are printed in color. I think that would be significant to adults, but it's especially important to youngsters. My son was using his birthday money to buy this book and was hugely disappointed. He'll get the last couple of volumes in color instead.
