This was a surprise. Maybe because I borrowed it from the Library without knowing what it was. When I started reading it I was like "What the heck? Is this about a real person" and it is! Paul Dini to be exact. Who's that? Oh, you know, the guy who basically made Batman the animated series what it was.

I'll be honest. I was never a huge fan of Batman the animated series. Nothing against it. I'm not a huge fan of american animation. Especially cartoons. Just not my style of watching. However, I knew of Paul Dini. Never heard he was nearly beaten to DEATH. I was in shock reading this even though most people knew this had happened I did not. It was shocking to me and I felt so sad reading about this poor, innocent, and seemingly nice guy going through such a dark part in his life.

What I liked: Holy hell emotions hit high time in this one. It's really hard to read and anyone who's been through shit can relate. The art is fantastic and having so many cameos from different things was wonderful. I really enjoyed the imagination scenes because I can relate when I write. Also, the ending was perfect and the hopeful boost you need in life.

What I didn't like: The love relationship kind of drags. That hurts the pacing just a tad bit. It's really the only negative to this book but it's enough to drag it down just a bit (but only a little!)

Overall, this was great. Fantastic inside look to a man who went through a tragic event but came back swinging. It was sad, happy, and powerful all in one package and glad Paul was willing to share these darker moments in his life.
