review 1: I personally didn't like it. I'm really into autobiographical comics, but this one was just not what I was looking for. The guy didn't seem to have a very interesting life but yet he still decided to make a comic of it. The story was uninteresting and, on top of that, the drawings weren't even very well done. I forced myself to finish it and actually couldn't. I read 3/4 of it. So if it has an amazing ending that would have made me understand and love the whole book, I've missed it.
review 2: The creators of most autobiographical comics try so hard to Say Something Meaningful. They navelgaze, they pontificate, but mostly they try too damn hard. Jeffrey Brown's autobio comics, on the other hand, just tell simple stories about his life. If he's Trying To Say S... moreomething, it certainly doesn't come across that way, and if there's any Capital-M Meaning to be found, he leaves it to us to find it on our own. I appreciate that approach. I find it truly distasteful when a creator of any type of artform tries to tell me how brilliant he/she is. I think I'll make that decision for myself, thanks. less
