Ghost World
by Daniel Clowes
This was pretty enjoyable. I was debating between a 3 or a 4. It has some really awesome dialog. It's also really interesting art design. The story is about two best friends basically just chilling and going around their city in the 90's trying to figure out life. Cursing, sex, and other wonderful subjects are thrown into the mix and it makes for a real chilled, laid back, fun little graphic novel.
What I liked: The characters play off each other great. Their best friends and the way they interact feel REAL. I also enjoy teh art design. Everyone is pretty ugly but it works for this style of story. I also love the pacing as there's very little boring moments so that's always nice.
What I didn't like: The amount of cursing was a little TOO much. I come from a very happy cursing family. I cursed since I was 2. However, fuck and shit, and cunt, and dick are thrown in every line here. It's a bit much. I also thought the story jumped a lot and there was no real plot. It's basically a plot about nothing.
Overall Ghost World was pretty fun and think I'll remember it has a unique graphic novel but I doubt I'll remember it 10 years from now from scene to scene. I do want to see the movie now though.
