Daytripper

2024 Review: STILL Fantastic. This is a story about death, but also just as much about life. As someone who struggles with the concept of death, especially getting older, this book hits me right in the heart. I love the idea of death being able to take us at anytime, and our main character basically dies so many points in his life, or not, depending on which story read next. I read this again in one sitting. Originally reading it in my 20's, and now in my 30's, I'll probably be re-reading this multiple times in my life. A 5/5.
Original 2017 review: Wow...Anybody seeing this review please do yourself a favor and buy this right away or download it on E-reader. It NEEDS to be read.
While I sit here I'm still trying to gather all my thoughts of this title in one review. I mean the emotions this Graphic Novel gave me is...just...I don't even have words. It made me sad, made me think, almost made me cry, made me smile, made me laugh...I mean it hit it all. It's truly an amazing title that I had no clue what I was getting when I opened it and I already knew it was highly rated (one of the highest on this site actually.)
Bras is a writer. The story focuses around his life, throughout various important moments, and at first it might strike you as a odd choice when the first issue ends. But as you read on you begin to see that the ending to each chapter is special, because it's an end, and you'll understand more of that when you read.
Without spoilers these stories focus on important parts of your life. From Love, to loss, to work, to family you get various stories focusing on things you might not even notice in your own life. I won't even lie, the dialog is some of the best I've ever read. The art is stunning, giving a realistic feel but almost dream-like. You know what I mean? It's so hard to describe because I never felt that way till today when reading a graphic novel.
I want to speak soooo much about this book but so much is spoilers and honestly I don't want to ruin the overall story for anyone. I just need to state again this graphic novel NEEDS to be read. It's one of the best books I've ever read. It hit me on so many levels that I can't even sum it up in this review. Just please do yourself a favor and pick this up right now. Just be prepare to reflect on life a bit after ;) 5/5.
