• Ghost World Share

  When it comes to main characters, we sometimes have to grapple with the issue of sympathy. If a character is likeable there's obviously no concern. If the character is flawed, it's often a "harmless" flaw, so we can still easily care about the charac ... (read full critics)

  Ghost World was a cute graphic novel to read for the 24 hour read-a-thon. I watched the movie years ago & always wanted to read the novel but never seemed to get around to it, & right now seemed like the perfect time.

  Ghost World was a cute graphic novel to read for the 24 hour read-a-thon. I watched the movie years ago & always wanted to read the novel but never seemed to get around to it, & right now seemed like the perfect time. If you have a bit of a dark/sarcastic humor you may want to pick it up. I am actually going to look into getting the rest of Daniels Clowes Eightball series it was very different than the surreal sexual mysteries he use to write.

  I have mixed feelings about this book. I thought it was interesting, but wished it went into more detail at the end. It seemed to end abruptly. I did find it amusing and could relate a bit to the story. Overall its a fun, quirky story about teens. I'd recommend checking it out.

  Graphic novel: entra nel mondo di due amiche adolescenti con le loro conversazioni (quasi) monosoggetto, le piccole fissazioni, irritazioni, divagazioni, reciproche delusioni, i taciuti tradimenti. Leggerlo in inglese è interessante, vengono fuori i ritmi del parlato (e anche qlche acronimo slang che mi resta da cercare!). Segno a tratti caricaturale, ma espressivo; mi piace il coloring verde-acqua delle vignette.

  Frankly the dialogue and premise was similar to Optic Nerve so the whole teenage-rebellion-I-hate-you-and-everyone-on-this earth can get quite annoying.

  There were some funny moments here and there, but seriously, Enid and Rebecca are two screwed up girls who can't live with or without each o ... (continue)
