I liked this book, quite a bit, actually.... though it wasn't as powerful as I expected. Sometimes other peoples' reviews can do that, set you up for something that's more obtuse than it really is. Daytripper is a gentle sort of novel, even though there is a lot of death. It's a thoughtful book about life, and why we live it, and what makes it important. It's a sad book, and yet as I finished the last page I was struck by how hopeful it all was, too.I wonder, how will my obituary read? Who will note my passing? Will people focus on what I've done, or what I never managed to do?
Twin brothers Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba have created a lyrical ode to the importance of stepping outside your head and into your life. Family, friendship, love, and fate are wound together in this beautiful book that also testifies to the power of quiet moments, introspection, and the importance of seeing opportunity in the mundane. If you've considered picking up a graphic novel for the first time, this would be a great place to start. Highly recommended.
Will write a proper review when I'm done crying.
