This is probably the most phenomenal graphic novel I've read for adults. It doesn't have the more obvious flair that so many of them do, but it's clever, inventive and insightful. I highly recommend reading this story more than once. On some pages there may be as many as 19 separate stories all happening simultaneously. I found myself flipping back and forth between the pages to read a single timeline, while other times, I simply enjoyed the way the stories coincide with each other. 
 At times, the illustrations almost seem basic, lacking a lot of detail and with muted colors. I felt they were perfect for the story, and beautiful without being distracting.
