review 1: Saw this at the library last week and was drawn to it by the cool cover. Who says you can't judge a book by one?This little story is fantastic - just really human. The art and writing are both understated for the most part, subtle and "real"-feeling. The characters are fully-realized, the plot is nothing earth-shattering (and that's the true beauty of it) but is well done personal drama. Really, I could rave for awhile about this one...I liked it enough that I will probably seek out a copy for myself. I see that the original version included more stories... hmmmm...
review 2: Same Difference is a very short novella with a surprising amount of character development along the way! The art is lovely, and the dialogue extremely realistic. At it's core it deal
... mores with the shame of when someone knows they've done something wrong, even if it's minor compared to all the other ills in the world, and deciding what, if anything they should do about it.I went ahead and gave it four stars, because it's well crafted and I would happily recommend it to others. Personally though it probably rates closer to a three, simply because I tend to like books that cause me to have a more "gut" reaction. This book is great, it just feels "quiet" by my tastes, upon initial reading. Still, I could see this being well worth re-reads and is short enough to do that easily! less
