This all started for me when I read Christopher Moore’s page-turner “Noir” . It mentions this story, by O. Henry, as it relates to a plot point in the book. I read the short story by O. Henry and liked it very much! This version is a comic book like interpretation of that short story, and it is not as good. It gets the overall general point of the story, that is, a kidnapping gone wrong, actually, a kidnapping sort of in reverse! But this version doesn't quite capture the humor of O. Henry's original, which is quite a chuckle. Still, I'm grateful to Moore for setting me along this path, and I'm glad I read it! ( )

This story is about two men who decide to kidnap a child, but find it a lot more difficult than they imagined. This is a comic strip style book and I didn't enjoy it at all. The story is okay, but I didn't like the way it is written. I felt that I wasn't reading, I was just looking at pictures. ( )
