Goodnight Paradise by Joshua Dysart

5.0

This book’s really something special. The kind of character and setting complexity that makes for a compelling story. Feels like what the Safdie brothers would write if they made a comic. All the story beats reflect both social commentary on a flawed and broken system, as well as character flaws in each individual protagonist and antagonist. There’s no one to wholeheartedly root for, and that ambiguity propels the story forward instead of weighing it down. Art style is appropriately uncomfortable, and the change of art style between real-time scenes and flashbacks is brilliant.
