Summary: A Real Charmer
Review: Andi Watson gets better with each project. His brushwork is a marvel of economy--the minimal style skillfully conveys subtle expression and mood for maximum impact and insight.

The story itself is fairly straightforward. Katherine, an aspiring American screenplay writer, heads to England to log some time at a local newspaper as creative fodder for her project. She partners with prickly Owen, and keeps in touch with her ambitious boyfriend back in the states. Conflict ensues and lessons are learned.

The ending is well done, if not a complete surprise. What makes this book shine, though, is the complex characterization that Watson imparts through dialogue, story and art.
