In Real Life
by Cory Doctorow, Jen Wang
I really loved this story but it felt way too rushed, like the span of events transpired much more quickly than they could have actually happened. I think that's a danger in the graphic novel medium, because the drawings take up a lot of real estate. The artwork was so amazing and perfect and my favorite part of this book though. The hustle to tell the story in a short space made it feel not only rushed but also kind of preachy in a way that just didn't flow. Still, overall I liked it a lot and the female gamer empowerment message resonated very deeply.
