i read this monster in one intense session that left me feeling completely scooped out inside. it’s an absolutely visceral reading experience and i’m slack-jawed by how ambitious it is and how well it succeeds. however, this story could not have been told as well sans artwork - the two components twine together into this perfectly symbiotic storytelling entity with each mode taking on equal weight. This is truly one of the best books i have ever read, and i don’t mean just in the graphic novel category - i mean all books/all time. chris ware is not stephen king, strewing his blurbs all over town, and if he says something, you can trust it.īut if you need more convincing, here are some thoughts from someone who is not an industry superstar and hasn’t gotten much sleep lately. Oooh, goodreads choice awards semifinalist for best graphic novel! what will happen?Ĭhris ware called this book Absolutely astonishing.
