rachelelizabeth 's review for:

The Sculptor by Scott McCloud
5.0

I review books on my blog, Rachel's Reading. For 100's of more like this, check it out and subscribe!

When I visited my favorite bookstore of all time, one of the book sellers told me that this ARC was being passed around from all the employees and that I had to read it. Of course I picked it up immediately. This is a graphic novel that is about David, an aspiring sculptor. He makes a deal with Death that he can make whatever he wants, but he only can live for 200 days and if he tells anyone that that will happen, he loses days.

I can't even form words around this book, except to say it is one of the most phenomenal books I've ever read in the history of ever. Resonating, strong, beautiful in so many ways, it's etched it's way into my heart and it's not something I'll be forgetting in a long long long time. I know this is a shorter review than normal, however, I truly think the beauty of this book is going in with no expectations and watch it change everything.
