review 1: This is the second 'longish' graphic novel i have read and I'm not sure i'm into them. However I give credit that at least KIKI is a charismatic character worth writing about I just wish it was done in a more a succinct way and with specialised artwork (maybe in colour) that conveyed her beauty and lively character while spending more time on her inner thoughts and why she acted the way she did rather that introducing us to every famous french artist she met. I wanted to know more about her than everyone around her. Despite this I did enjoy most of it but feel there is a great, shorter beautiful graphic novel that could be made to better capture KIKI.
review 2: this graphic novel is a must for whom loves Paris and the "age d'or" of art in this city in begin an... mored mid 20th century. Kiki is a real character and I was totally submerged by her life. Based in true events (and with the small biographies of all characters who passes by Kiki's life) this book give a real picture of what was France and specially Paris in those crazy years. Thank you to the Comic book store lady who recommended me this novel. I truly loved it! Funny fact: I bought this book in Montparnasse.. It's a shame I didn't glimpsed Kiki singing in a bar... less
