shane_the_reading_rat's review against another edition
I’ll try and find a physical copy of this at somepoint, but trying to read this on my phone is absolute hell due to the tiny print and highly detailed art

Fantastic but too disjointed and surreal.

Uneven in tone and content. I love Ai Weiwei but this disappointed me because it seemed so haphazard, like it had been rushed to print before it was ready. I would have liked to see more of Weiwei’s childhood and his father’s exile but less philosophical digression.

Maybe this graphic novel just wasn’t for me. I thought it was decent overall, but I had a hard time remaining interested in it.
I really liked Ai Weiwei’s perspective on the role of art, and I thought the use of the zodiac as a basis to explain key experiences and geopolitical events that shaped his life was cool. I guess it just didn’t feel cohesive to me and at some points it felt just like a separate series of facts/vignettes to me at times.
