I've read Fake, and it is good, but I didn't bring it to school with me--I don't like it enough to want to carry it up and down many flights of stairs with all my other junk. (I did bring Sandman)

I liked it, but I really thought the first two volumes or so were the best. Read vol. 2 first, and see if you like it. If you do, then go back to 1, and on to the others. It's a fun series, but it kind of drags by the end, and I wasn't too enthralled by some of the side-characters.
