Emo Boy Volume 1: Nobody Cares about Anything Anyway, So Why Don't We All Just Die? by Stephen Emond

I picked this up because I really enjoyed 'Happyface' and wanted to see what else Emond had done. Mistake. I'm not sure who this book is for because it's not funny and there are no real stories and it's kind of hard to follow. I got about halfway through and decided I had too many other books I wanted to read. Sorry, Emo Boy.

I thought this might be fun, cheeky graphic novel but it's hard to follow and so tonally unstable that it's difficult to grasp the point. There's at least some nice commentary on one of emo's primary flaws: masturbatory self-loathing.

One of the worst thing's I've ever read. Imagine Scott Pilgrim with half the humor and only a quarter of the storytelling abilities.

Or to put it another way: The guy at a party who makes one good joke and continues to riff on it for the rest of the night while people continue to get more and more annoyed.

Avoid. Unless you're in high school. Then you'll probably love it. Five years ago, I probably would have.
