Interesting graphic novel about alcoholism.
I really liked the information at the end of my edition about how this book came to be.

This was incredible, like, unexpectedly so. I didn't think I would like the main character at first, but the art style and narrative managed to keep me hooked. The plot gets... strange at certain parts, and takes away from the story at times, BUT, I was entertained throughout. I don't think I've ever read anything like this.
