review 1: A lyrical and bittersweet debut graphic novel that explores themes of loss, respect, and duty to family and nature. Though it's a slim, quick read, Sievert packs a lot of intensity into his story.The artwork is simply gorgeous. Sievert's black-and-white line work is bold, beautiful, and perfectly captures the nautical landscape. He nails all the details; you can practically feel the sea breezes and smell the salty air of the title. Furthermore, the story is brief but confident; it has a wonderful folk tale-type quality, rough and raw. I was left wanting more but I was also thoroughly impressed by the economical art and storytelling."That Salty Air" is fantastic. I loved it the first time I read it and I appreciate it more and more with every additional reading. One of my t... moreop favorite graphic novels.
review 2: In this tale of loss, anger, and ultimately, redemption, the ocean serves as an allegory for the parts of our lives that are beyond our control. I really liked Sievert's artwork, which to my eyes looks like a cross between Jeff Smith (Bone) and Craig Thompson (Blankets). It was a quick read, sparse on dialogue, which I'm sure was intentional on the part of Sievert. It's a very introspective piece of work. But because of this, I had a difficult time understanding and relating to the protagonist, which made it even harder to feel sympathy for him. Actually, he's quite a jerk throughout most of the book. The book's ending does redeem this particular gripe, but not enough for me to consider it a great read. less
