emotional funny reflective sad slow-paced

I don't know. I realized after I had read this book it were a author biography which made it weird.

I liked the art in this comic, its nicely done with the three colours that stays consistent during the whole book. What I didn't like was sadly the story, it was allot. I do think some could have been cut from the book. I find it hard to write a review of a book about someones real life. 

Took me 2 hours and 41 minutes to read.

This was really good, and I'm glad I got to read it. It's sad that I read it because people are trying to kick it out of the high school. It's a beautiful story of first love and coming to your own faith. If you're wondering why

jackelz's review against another edition

reflective fast-paced

This book was challenged for obscene images, likened to pornography, for its depictions of the author's first love and his sexually-abusive babysitter. For me, the nudity was beautiful and a welcome part of the story. 

This is a chunky read, about 600 pages, but it goes by quickly. You can get lost in the illustrations, and I love that. I really enjoyed the main themes and both, the deconstructing of his faith and first love, really resonated with me. 

“I wanted a heaven. And I grew up striving for that world — an eternal world — that would wash away my temporary misery.”
