A funny, honest, and relatable story. Good pacing and characterization. I think this book would have been life changing-ly helpful if I had read it as a teen, as an adult it was still very enjoyable.

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.

5.0

This funny, honest, self-compassionate, perfectly cringy, loving, empowering graphic memoir of growing up trans in suburban England in the 90s and early 00s is just such a gift. I loved how Lewis, as an all-grown-up transman, self-inserts, visits, accepts, and tries to help his younger self, Lois, and all the humor and honesty with which he depicts his teen years and his transition. So grateful this book exists!

Fantastic memoir about the trans experience, really cool to see a memoir done as a comic. Quite hopeful, light tone on serious topics. Really good read
