I liked the concept of this graphic novel, but I thought the execution was a little weak. The ending was odd; I get the point the author was trying to make, but perhaps he could have made it in a different way. I also liked the art for the most part. It was a creative way to show macular degeneration. The main character's family totally sucked but at least, in the end, they figured out what was happening to Myriam.

3.5, I like the story, (though it's confusing at times), but I don't like the art style. It looks cool, but it's hard to tell whats in pictures sometimes, and it just feels blurry.
Edit: I just realized the "blurry" was probably on purpose, since it makes sense to the story, but it's still annoying to read.

Fascinating info on this condition. Beautiful drawings, nice characterization...Though tending to stereotype perhaps. The drawings though, became somewhat repetitive and the end of the story felt abrupt to me.

Great story. I get that the blurry illustrations are meant to mimic the woman's degenerative eyesight, but they made for maddening reading.
