Reviews

The premise for this graphic novel was interesting, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. It was well drawn and well thought out, but the short stories about the author's experiences of working with patients suffering from a variety of mental illnesses just seemed so disjointed. I picked it up for three dollars at bookoutlet, so I didn't lose much on it.
