I have very mixed feelings about this one. It started off very promisingly. I love that feeling of loss and that search for a reason to live in the first few pages but then it drifts off onto different things. When I read it, I constantly got the feeling that I wanted it to go deeper into my head and my heart but it just never did.
Thanks to Ebury Press and Jordan Bolton for this review copy!
I love how this graphic novel celebrates the little things and how the most simple elements of our days are worth celebrating. I can imagine this book being a really good conversation starter and would work well as a coffee table book. The only thing I would’ve changed is I would’ve loved a bit more texture and warmth to the illustrations, but I liked the way that the writing was made the focal point regardless.
Unlike the other current other reviewer I quite enjoyed this. Some of the vignettes work better than others but the simplified single frame images are generally good and the images do seem to work with the poetic text. I suspect Mr Bolton's next work will be a bit stronger but this is a good debut.
