Black River is an odd dystopian book that is really graphic and gory.  This group of travelers, mostly ladies, have to make some tough choices for survival.  And sanity if definitely a luxury they don't have.  The wierd sex scene was funny also.  The black and white illustrations are perfect to depict the harshness of their reality.  This book has minimal dialogue, which I appreciated.  I mean, not much to say when your world has been destroyed and you are just surviving day by day.  I enjoyed this book even if I didn't get what really was meant by the ending.
