it was amazing
bookshelves: comix

so i read this book because 1)it was a graphic novel and as of late, being a new mommy and all, graphic novels complement my short attention span very well. 2)i was familiar with this guy because of the whole jeffrey brown/holy consumption affiliation and figured it was about time to read something from him, especially because the drawings were just the right type for me when it came to graphic novels and 3)because i saw it on karen's list of books that made her cry and being the nosy me, i just needed to know what sort of stuff could make her cry...

well, i cried too, but on the inside, only because i read it at work (yes, tsk on me) and i needed to stay tough there like one needs to when it comes to retail and customer service. anyway, this book is SAD. it made my insides all knotty and my limbs limp. limpy limbs. but it was lovely and dreamlike, and went into fantasy just at the right moment when reality seemed to get too rough. i am in love with the little boy in this and wish he were real for me to take home, along with his lion mask that i so badly want to try on.

this also made me fully aware of my own mortality as a mother and i swear, all i could think while reading it was to try as hard as possible to not die anytime soon...
