"It is late on Friday evening & I finished the book after a concert. It was quite moving--full of beauty and sadness, passion and loss. Have you read "The Blind Assassin" by Margaret Atwood? It has a similar intensity and raises similar themes - and in passages has a poetic quality that reminds me of your work."
- Lawrence Solum
"The Dentist and the Toothfairy is a treasure. The story is hypnotic and timeless, the artwork intricate and breathtaking. Dorota Skrzypek masterfully combines mythic themes and seductive characters in an updated version of the fairy tale genre. This book is the ultimate in escape literature... read it by candlelight!"

"Much of this story remains burned into my mind even months after I first read it. So, guess what? I read it again! The characters feel like people I've known or could know. The setting seems like someplace dangerous, yet romantic (in a fantastic not syrupy sense of the word). Author Dorota Skrzypek's imaginative storytelling goes deep, far and wide in only 128 pages. I've read novels five times as long, that don't accomplish nearly as much. And certainly, the beautiful accompanying artwork by Jerome Prieur possesses great depth and beauty. It's like the visual engine pushes the narrative steaming forward. If Skrzypek's and Prieur's purpose was to create an epic, adult fairytale, then mission accomplished. Even better, they've walked that fine line between fantasy and realism without being exhaustingly esoteric and coy. Now, one question: Who's going to be smart enough to turn The Dentist and The Toothfairy into a movie?"

"The art in this book is absolutely stunning. And the story is greatly
involving, beginning like a fairy tale but traveling to some very
unexpected locales. An extremely memorable read. The writing is
extrememly clear and direct."
