I've said this before in reviews, rating a memoir is hard. Was this the best artwork? no. Was this the best writing? no. I didn't fully appreciate the full page of text for the fire stories of others. But was this a story worth tell? Hell yes. And it was told in a compelling and thoughtful manner. And without ever really saying it, it reminded me that sometimes you really have no choice but to consider what is really important.

almost cried a handful of times. Incredible, really captured the nuances of grief and the random little things that get to you that you didn't even think of. I really loved it, sweet sweet book. I hope his home is built exactly how him and his wife want it.

Graphic memoirs are my favorite genre. This one did a good job of including other people’s stories and experiences too.

I just honestly lost interest. I don't think it's a bad book. It's just very dense and hard to go through when I'm already trying to read so many things mandatory for my book committee.
