review 1: I really liked the story behind this graphic novel, and it was refreshing to be getting what seemed like a very real story. On the other hand, I found it quite hard to read because of the font style. The cursive font was hard to decipher, but at the same time, it did force me to slow down and absorb the words to what I was reading. Although I'm unsure as to what the purpose of the novel was... it was an interesting story, but it didn't seem much more than that. Possibly the message that it's always possible to pull yourself out of a situation that you don't like. Ultimately, I thought it was well done, but I just didn't like it as much as other graphic novels I've read recently.
review 2: 23 year old Canadian woman's memoir about growing up with a drunk stoner ... moreMom and emotionally abusive mom's boyfriend... Dad figures in, too... everything happens: bulimia, drug abuse, depression and SO much more... and in some ways this would feel really unremarkable, just a little too depressing a train wreck to watch, a kind of Mommie Dearest for for the 21st Century, a companion piece for Calling Dr Laura (which tries to be funnier than this one does...) or How I Made it to Eighteen, but it is worth looking at, gorgeously drawn...the art carries this one... less
