Note: This review is for Book 6. Amazon is putting all the reviews for all six books on each product page. (Don't you love it when they do that?)

While reading volume 4, I thought to myself "you know, this is getting repetitive and unbelievable." Then I hit page 63, where Francine's daughter's publisher (reviewing SiP) says "the book is repetitive and unbelievable." So I cheated, skipped volume 5 entirely, and got this one, since I wanted to see how it all ends. I don't think I missed anything important.

Will Katchoo and Francine's love ever get requited? Well, if I told you, that would be a spoiler, wouldn't it? How's this for a truncated spoiler - you'll never guess who Casey ends up with.

This review should indicate to you that if you want to read this series, you'll have to start from the beginning. (Actually, I cheated there as well and started with volume 2, and it still made sense.)

Update 6/17 - I've now bought books 1 and 5 as well.

Strangers In Paradise Pocket Book 6 Strangers in Paradise Graphic Novels Bk 6 Terry Moore 9781892597397 Books Reviews

This has since been collected in one massive book so you can read the whole storyline straight through and it's well worth it. Especially if you missed some of the softbacks or wore them out. No capes of superpowers allowed here- but a gripping story about regular people that will keep your attention.
I've been reading Strangers in Paradise in pocket book form. (These are compilations of material that originally appeared in single issue comic book format.) This book is the last in the series, as the story comes to a close.

At its heart, Strangers in Paradise is a love story. Katchoo and Francine meet in high school. They're perfect for each other. They should be together. But instead, they wind up apart for years, and when they find each other again, they're plunged into drama and intrigue secret identities, organized crime and killers, marriages, divorces and, er, folksingers. You name it, it's all here, rolled into one entertaining, convoluted ride.

Let me get my criticisms of the series as a whole out of the way. It lagged at times. There were a whole lot of interludes with song lyrics and poems that I didn't feel contributed much, and that frankly I didn't think were very good. Also, some of this series was reorganized when it was reprinted in these Pocket Books, and the result is a long, odd tangent in one of the previous books that is too disconnected from the characters and story we've grown invested in. So... not all 6 Pocket Books would have gotten 5 stars from me. This one, though does.

Book 6 fulfills all the promise built up through the series. This final volume brings the multifaceted story to a close most effectively, and affectingly. I was left at the end with that bittersweet feeling you get at the end of a really good book or film you know these people are fictional characters, but you will miss them, now that their story is over. I was so glad I took the time to read Strangers in Paradise.
This volume contains the following
- First, we get a "Previously in SiP", a short recap of what happened in previous issues.
- # 50 "Backlash" The next morning... We learn that Terry can be quite a tease! We learn more about Casey, Francine's mood swings and Katchoo's frustrations. Meanwhile, in Japan, Tambi gets a proposal from David...
- # 51 "What I want" (My Maiden Voyage) Francine can't seem to make up her mind and Katchoo's beginning to get tired of it... Poor David.. I hope he can handle Tambi..
- #52 "What I dream" It looks like it's therapy time for Francine! We learn more about Katchoo's feelings(beautifully done by Mr. Moore) and we meet our own duck hunter!
- #53 "What I got" It seems that Francine has finally made up her mind about what she wants, but may it be too late?
- #54 "Fields of Gold" What is going on with Ms Noel? Poor David... My heart is breaking for him... Oops, it seems like Katchoo has really done it this time... Francine returns to what's familiar.
This volume gets my highest recommendation!
My daughter turned me onto Francine and Katchoo and I have loved every book in the series. I was genuinely sorry to see the story come to an end. Watching the characters grow over the series, their stories and their personalities evolve. There are comic and poignant moments and although some of the situations are melodramatic and even ridiculous, never do the characters come across as stereo-typical. Rather, they continue to surprise by doing things that you don't anticipate but you never question what happens. Most of the characters are not only people you could know but characters you would want to know. Some of the novels also include side stories, unrelated to the main story. Like pet projects the artist not only wanted to include but was loathe not to share, they are there as a special treat for the reader and every one of them is a treat.

So a big thank you to my daughter for exposing me to some fun and fabulous graphic novels.
Im on page 102 of this vol.1 pocket edition and hooked. What will happen next, when or will Francine and Katchoo hook up? What did Katchoo do in Canada? For me its more like a fully illustrared novel...cant wait to get to the end and start on vol.2 thru to the end...Already have Terry Moore's Echo complete one book collected issues ordered on the way...it all started when I picked up "How to Draw Beautiful" by Terry Moore, as I'm seriously getting back into my art after too long a hiatius. Just looking at his technique and sheer awesome art talent I thought, if he writes half as good as he draws ive got to read Strangers in Paradise! And its more than met my expectations. If you like comics and your tastes have matured to where the x-men just don't cut it anymore, try this out...it might be just what the literary Dr. Ordered. (Though I'm not above sci-fi and hero comics, as I was blown away by the Batman Earth One book! But this is a great switch up to break the constant good vs evil thing...S.I.P. is more grey, like real life.)
