I enjoyed every bit of Alison Bechdel's retrospect on the relationship between her and her father. It would have been a faster read if I wasn't afraid I'd miss anything - there's a lot of witty detail in the drawings and in the narration. Bechdel is also endlessly witty, and uses her love of literature to help reflect on her past. It was a great way to read an autobiography - after reading other graphic novels that nearly all include superheroes and sci-fi connotations, I'm not sure I was convinced something reality-based could succeed as such. But, I almost wish all autobiographies could be related in Bechdel's way; it didn't feel like I was being "told" something, I felt like I was peering into the very memories of her and her family's lives. And Bechdel's story is riveting at every turn.
