As a Dutch person, lover of art and big fan of Vincent Van Gogh, I was immediately excited when I saw this graphic biography. I know many details already but also learned some new things which is nice. The art work however was a big no for me. It took me away from the narrative so much and that is such a shame to me. Of course this is my personal opinion and the art works at the end with the Van Gogh influences were quite alright but as a whole it was just not for me.

2.5 stars.
This is a great little book for those who are new to Vincent Van Gogh’s life and work.
I found the content informative, although it was not entirely new to me. 3.5 stars for the content.
As for the art style, except for the representations of Van Gogh’s art, the style was not for me at all, a total miss. This is quite subjective of course, and please go ahead, and read about this incredible artist and human being’s life.

This was a wonderful and informative quick read! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-arc. I had just visited a Chicago museum and viewed some of Vincent Van Gogh's works in real life when I saw that this graphic novel was available to read on NetGalley. Of course, I read it immediately! What a great book telling of Vincent Van Gogh's life, his relationship with his brother, and his sister-in-law Jo's efforts to let the world know of the genius painter. I learned a lot in a short amount of time and in an entertaining way.

3,5/5 | Really liked the way it presented the information, it was all very interesting and different from what you'll normally hear/read about Van Gogh.

* I just wasn't the greatest fan of the book's art and font choice.

This is definitely a well researched book! I thought it was interesting to have the book written from Jo’s perspective.

There is a lot of information in here that I did not know about Vincent. At times it may have been a bit too much information or too wordy, but I respect how much time and research must have been put into this book.

A good book to read to get to know Vincent van Gogh. The sentences do get a little too long and confusing to read, and I find myself rereading it a lot of time to understand it.

3.5 out of 5 Stars round up to 4.

It very interesting to learn little bit more about Vincent van Gogh than what is taught in art classes.

Thank you Netgalley for this E-Arc.
