Epileptic by David B.

3.0

This graphic novel (as made quite evident by the title) is about the author's journey to come to terms with his brother's epilepsy. The story chronicles their lives from childhood to adulthood and all of the many treatments and miracle solutions that their parents tried over the years including joining hippie communes, hypnotism, acupuncture, therapy, and dieting. It was very interesting, and the creator included dream sketches and drafts of earlier drawn comics intermixed with the chronological story line.

I really did like this book, though I felt it was a bit disorganized at times. The ending fell a little flat for me, but I think it brings light to the fact that not all stories end with inspirational quick-fixes.
