    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.

One of the best-selling and critically-acclaimed graphic novels of all-time telling the story of two supremely ironic, above-it-all teenagers facing the thrilling uncertainty of life after high school. As they attempt to carry their life-long friendship into a new era, the careful dynamics of their inseparable bond are jolted, and what seemed like a future of endless possibilities looks more like an encroaching reality of strip malls, low-paying service jobs and fading memories.

Already one of the most heavily-publicized graphic novels in history, this new edition (featuring new covers by Clowes) should make the book more popular than ever. With lengthy write-ups in Time, Newsweek, Publisher's Weekly, Details, Vogue, Jane, and many others, press interest in the book and film promises to be higher than ever this spring.
