review 1: The final book, in my Christmas Day stack, has been read. Another graphic novel, this one disturbing. I was left with questions . . was this story - about childhood sexual abuse - true? The book, on the flyleaf, is classified as an autobiographical graphic novel. . . a bit of online research confirms that it is, indeed, autobiographical. There is a starkness to the story . . the facts are presented matter-of-factly . . without embellishment and with an amazing lack of emotion until the final chapters. The book is graphic, descriptive and somewhat cathartic . . the illustrations and photographs stark and very effective. The book left me feeling conflicted . . . is it a painful memoir or a masterpiece? Five stars . . not for the feint of heart.
review 2: I p... moreicked this book out based on the title...I thought "Hey, sounds like a cool murder mysery!" or something. Turns out it's an autobiographical account about the lasting effects of the experience of child molestation by a priest.Did not really see that coming.However, the book was beautifully done. The timeline of the story, from age 7 until mid-adulthood really laid out the story in an effective and accessible way. The artwork was beautiful, and I really enjoyed the incorporation of photography and more surrealist aspects of graphic novelization into the narrative. less
