God bless tumblr screenshots on Pinterest for bringing me little gems like this

dark emotional fast-paced

This reminds me of Siken’s writing style. Now I need to go watch NBC’s Hannibal or Lazarus Rising from Supernatural over and over again.

DONE FINALLY!! Thank god. Now I can procrastinate my way through another classic that I will only pick up once a week for months on end. PHEW!! Loved the writing style. Satirical pieces and unreliable narrators will always have my eye. I’ll look into more from Nabokov after this! This was such a difficult book to bring in public. The questions and concerns were part of the reason it took months to finish.

I only read this because I heard how much uproar Fox News has made about it. My mom said they showed entire pages blurred out as they were “too pornographic”. None of it was true. The same situations are described in numerous books on high school bookshelves. I read this in one sitting. Beautiful story! The art is so distinctly unique. The message is personal and familiar to me. I can’t remember the last time I’ve read such a profound graphic novel. This book has really opened a new door for me. :)
