review 1: I really enjoyed this book. It reminded alot of The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, which I read earlier this year -- so much so that when I started reading Unterzakhn I thought the author/illustrators were one and the same. It's a graphic novel that doesn't pull any punches. There's tons of gritty-ness and adult subject matter. When I got to the end, I wanted to start over at the beginning and re-read it. Whenever I read a book like this, it makes me sad, in a way, because I think about all the great books that might have been written over the centuries -- books by women, about women -- if women hasn't been discouraged and/or forbidden from writing them. There's a great big hole in great literature, in my opinion. This is the sort of book that begins to fill a sma... morell part of the void.
review 2: Well, I have to admit I couldn't put it down and I finished it in one sitting. I really wanted to know what would happen to the characters. I found the book overall though too dark, there were a couple of scenes that made me sick to my stomach. I also wondered if the creator meant for the two sisters to be examples of feminists. I did not get that feel at all from either character. I felt like they were thrown into certain situations and there their lives fell. Both sisters were easily used and manipulated by those around them. I'm sure that in that time some of the events would have been a reality. Very sad. less
