I am not usually a fan of books that are character studies, but this one is and I was thoroughly intrigued.  We follow the author/artist as he works summer in the paper mill between studying to be an artist.  The lesson on how paper mills work was really cool, but following Guy as he wades through life as the young person figuring out what it’s all about is compelling.  Try not turning the pages one you start.  The entire book is black and white with spots of a yellow or orange color and it creates a perfect setting for this story.  This book was a translation so it marks off some reading challenges for me which is good.
