5,000 Kilometers Per Second is beautiful and stunning graphic novel about the subtitlies, unspoken assumptions, and missed opportunities in any romantic relationship. As the title suggests, 5,000 Kilometers Per Second is a book about time as well, and in particular, how time, space, and distance shrink, expand, and collapse.

3.5 A arte deste livro é realmente linda como u.a tela que observamos é tenramos achar um história, bom não há muito aqui a não ser de encontros e desencontros de um quase amor,entre passagens por Itália, Egito e Noruega.

de un verano fantasma

ok, now this is just pissing me off. why does no one else love this goddamn book? it actually took me a while to get used to this art -- didn't fall immediately in love like most people -- but by the end, i was really feeling it. also, i just re-read the last page of the book, and now my heart hurts. how did you heathens rate it one or two stars? well, i guess i know how fangirls feel when i diss Twilight or 50 Shades.

Bittersweet graphic novel about almost lovers as they age, never quite connecting. Lovely, soft watercolor artwork.

I loved how the colours were used to create feeling in such a complexly simple life story. Wether they were used to convey temperature or temperament- it did so just perfectly and clearly. This was good.

Ho appena letto quello che credo sia stato il mio primo (o la mia prima?!) graphic novel, mondo che mi hanno aperto le preziose amichette del mio book club! <3 Insomma, è tipo vedere un film su carta.
Leggo qui recensioni in cui si dice che la storia è banale e poco approfondita, ma gli acquerelli sono talmente carini! E che dire di quanto sensibilmente varia l’uso del colore a seconda dei temi e delle ambientazioni! E poi, a me la storia è piaciuta (:
