So I succumbed, I clicked and bought. I received my purchase this morning (in the midst of so many other books), yet it is the first that I caught to read on my couch, quietly, before the rest of the household wakes up. It only took me an hour to devour this comic strip that I could not let go of the eyes after it began. I had read in the readers notice that the book was a pamphlet for gay rights. Maybe a little, Clementine is fighting against itself and the ideas of others to finally bring out what it really is. And with Emma she discovered. I read in these reviews are people who complained of a constant in history and pathos of a frame a bit cliché. It is true, objectively, that the conduct of the story takes on a scheme which can be expected and yet I found it really detracted from the quality of the book itself. I was impressed from beginning to end, not just by the quality of the drawing or text, but also how to treat a subject that few appear sensible. Homosexuality remains a topic that many approach without too much bother, others scoff stupid and intolerant way. Yet adolescents, we surely been many to wonder, "What if I was not like the others?". But like the other what does that mean exactly? This graphic novel led me to ask myself questions about love itself. Why would he love a genre? This, in my opinion, the most important question we pose the work of Julie Maroh. Why should a man not love a woman and a woman should love a man she?
Apart from all philosophical questions, the scenario is well put together and drawings, to my mind, are truly sublime. The whole is truly carrier intense emotions that we feel throughout the 156 pages. In short, it's a beautiful love story that can leave some marble but will surely cry a few. I recommend it, and quickly.
