I do enjoy a great bio-graphic novel, and the choice to show this from different perspectives was definitely unique :)
Edit: Wrote Thai instead of 'this'!

Ripped through this graphic novel about the life of the wonderful Cass Elliot in one sitting because it was simply delightful.

A lively, captivating slice of Mama Cass's early life. I loved this book and I can't wait to read [b:Dream a Little Dream of Me: The Life of Cass Elliot|267567|Dream a Little Dream of Me The Life of Cass Elliot|Eddi Fiegel|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1328857368l/267567._SY75_.jpg|259393].

This was so good!
I knew almost nothing about Mama Cass. I literally didn't hear California Dreamin' in my head until the very last page of this GN (which is remarkable because that song is referenced a tonne in this book). I picked this book up because it was an acclaimed GN, about a popular music figure, who was a fat woman.
And it was awesome. She was a fascinating figure, and the way this story is told is really smart. Different vignettes, each from the perspective of a different person in her life.
I wish the illustrations themselves had been inked a little darker - it feels like scrawly pencil - but the panel/composition placement was really clear and engaging.
Great stuff.

Perfect graphic bio. I’m now in love with Mama Cass and all she stood for. Ending was a little abrupt but otherwise *chefs kiss*

I am not usually a reader of graphic novels, but even a quick peek inside told me this one had a sweet, cheeky tone and Bageiu's quirky rendering of the subject completely engaged me.
