This is a masterpiece. It is so lyrical, and beautiful, and profoundly real.

This is a beautiful graphic novel. The artwork is stunning from the linework to the use of color. The story tends towards the predictable but it's a really enjoyable journey. The character design is also so well done from personality to physical looks. Just a really well constructed read. Highly recommended.

Fairly extensive look at the opioid crisis and the intersection with the Mexican black tar heroin trade. This book is *incredibly* repetitive. The subject matter is fascinating in its own terrible way, and I recommend reading this if it’s a topic of interest but by all means skim if you find yourself thinking “he just talked about this anecdote a chapter ago.”

I don't understand why my kids like this series so much. But my younger son recommended it to me, so there we go.

This Israeli graphic novel about an ad hoc group of archaeologists who search for the Ark of the Covenant fell a little flat for me. There is a lot of presumed back story that I couldn't quite buy into. I did like the art style and color palette.

Can gore be cheeseball? Didn't care for this really, but I'm still going to give the show a shot.

I thought this book was very charming and sweet. I was so surprised to see a lot of acrimonious one and two star reviews and they seem to be from kids who did *not* like this book being required reading for them. Going to try reading it with the kids to see what they think.

Pretty creepy! Haven’t read a Stephen King book in years.

This is such an odd book, tonally. The descriptions of these fledgling microbiologists are almost whimsical. I’ve read from the other reviews that it inspired many young people to become doctors so maybe the initial audience wasn’t adults. In any case, it’s very readable but dated. I learned a lot about a group of doctors I didn’t know much about and I’d recommend it if you’re interested in germ theory.

Autobiographical graphic novel about an ad executive with BPD who is assigned to work on a Pfizer account for anti-depression medication. I didn't connect with the art the way a lot of other people did in reading this, but the book is extremely emotive and the author is very good at conveying rage.
