This graphic novel/memoir was so evocative and done so well. I think some blurb on the back cover describes it as if watching a movie and it does feel like that, fluid and true. It reminded me of calvin & hobbes too, not of course in the subject matter, but the perfect sense you get of being a kid, bewildered by adults, but this story is of course more wrenching.

4 instead of a 3 because I really liked the artwork.

This was an interesting graphic memoir. There isn’t a ton of text, but yet, I felt immersed in the horrific abuse and medical malpractice that Small describes happened to him as a child. It felt really creepy and awful at times. While it wasn’t as graphic as I felt I always thought this book was, it still felt pretty mature with everything he dealt with.

uncomfortably honest and raw, and i related too much to it. take an hour off to read this and think about it for a while, it’s worth it

This was amazing. Upon finishing it I have also discovered that this author wrote Imogene’s Antlers, which my grandma read to me when I was little. So that’s lovely :)

I just wish there was more story and more development. I feel sorry for them but I didn’t really care. Also didn’t care for the art style
