review 1: Ted’s story is realistic but depressing and the artwork in this graphic novel, though reflective of the melancholy tone, is not very exciting. Genius does not have a lot of teen appeal since the focus of the book is a father and husband coming to terms with his own limitations and coping with life’s disappointments. It’s hard to imagine that many teens would have an interest in this midlife crisis subject matter.
review 2: YA/AD graphic novel, about a very bright child who grows into a very bright physicist who just...needs...a...new...Idea---to keep his think tank job, he thinks, but really to save his life. Characters are very well developed, voice is distinct, art is unassuming and easily legible. In the end he gets his Idea, and it does indeed chang... moree his world. My issue, and it's a big one, is that we don't find out what happens to one particular major character. The disappointment at finding that that subplot was left to dangle, which was plainly an authorial decision (geez, Steven, not even a hint?) interfered with my otherwise unalloyed positive response to this thoughtful, thought provoking story. less
