What a strange little book. I bought this because I was drawn to the size of the book, and the graphic-novel feel of the story. What a strange little book...taking you from the birth of a boy to his death, in almost journal-like entries. More of an experience than a read. ( )

Another odd little book--just the outline of a man's life with nifty little illustrations. You can probably read it in fifteen minutes.
This is one of those books that just gets lost at the library--it's for adults but looks like a kid's book, so no one ends up reading it. ( )

I didn't pick up this book for the story. It's obvious, from first glance, that there' snot much there. You can read it in 15 mins. if you're not interrupted.

It's basically about an average guy going through life. Someone's gay, someone dies, someone cheats on someone else, etc. If you're a guy over the age of 25, then you'll find a thought or phrase that you have muttered yourself at some time. But that's about it.

I picked this up because of the design. It's very well done. There's tons of vintage item scans mixed in with original artwork too. But it's all done sparingly. So it's light, roomy and conveys plenty of movement. That alone made it worth flipping through the pages. ( )
