Tales from Outer Suburbia by Shaun Tan
2.0
A strange and bizarre collection of stories about a suburbia.
This is apparently marketed towards children, however I wouldn't recommend it for that age group. I think this would be better for teens/young adults.
The stories were more miss than hit. Some were really good and I enjoyed them, others were just too strange/weird/uncomfortable and I didn't enjoy them.
I liked the illustrations, they made the book weirder, but also made the stories at times more enjoyable and also made some of the stories seem more understandable.
I really liked the scrapbook parts that were between stories.
I wouldn't really recommend this book, unless you want a bizarre book that is a mix of stories and pictures.
