Not bad at all. Considering its length it did pretty well, kept it interesting with a few plot twists. Wouldn't read the 2nd if it were a series though.

A weird but good little graphic novel.

WONDERFUL. This was so well done. I love Radiguès's illustration style and the story was so good. Also, as we know from my movie preferences, I will always love a good heist story.

This came recommended to me, and the blurb really drew me in. I was surprised with the direction the plot went (and the graphic content too, very reminiscent of a Quentin Tarantino vibe). It was a quirky little story, and so much happened in such a short span of pages, so the editing, wording and artistry was very well done. I think when recommending it to someone first question whether they would be throttled by very graphic nudity, gore and themes of assault/ domestic abuse and then also suggest that it's a refreshing palette cleanser for anyone stuck in a particular genre of reading.

I only gave it three stars because I did finish it wanting to know more, wanting it to have a clearer ending. Overall, I just wanted more and it's strength being short and concise was also it's weakness for me. Could perhaps be a series?
