Welcome to St. Hell is a fine graphic novel. I think that it's important to have more trans narratives, especially easily accessible ones. And this is a pretty quick, simple, and informative read. Hancox is bares a lot of his personal struggles, and I applaud him for the levity he's willing to inject in his reflections. But... it was not that interesting to me personally. It was a fine book. Just a little boring for me.

Very good and relatable comic about growing up transmasc / a trans man and all the kinds of hell and struggles that brings with it. 
Love the positive and encouraging ending and love also the list of resources for LGBTQ+ people at the very end.

Since he was a young child, Lewis knew that he felt like a boy in a girl’s body.  But in the UK in the 2000s, he wouldn’t discover the word “transgender,” and what it meant for him, until he was well into young adulthood.  In his wonderful graphic memoir, Lewis describes the struggles of living as a girl during his teen years—from hair pulling to disordered eating to obsessively bodybuilding—and the process of discovering his sexuality and gender identity, told in his native British vernacular with equal parts humor and heart.
