The most thrilling graphic novel I’ve ever read. The drawings are page upon page of exquisite, powerful images with a story that is breathtaking in its pain, purity, and heart. Amazing this much can fit between two covers. And that we can pay so little for such a treasure Awesome beyond words.

Stunning. I'm not into graphic novels I came for the unique "ball point pen on notebook" style. I just love it.
