We talked about this at book club tonight, but this story is a lot, emotionally. There isn't ever really a climax or a relief from the tense, difficult nature of the emotions threading their way through the story. Everything about the format, the writing, the colors, the format, adds to this kind of sense of dread. Which almost makes the story itself difficult to read.
While this isn't the kind of book that you read for enjoyment, I do think it's an important piece of influential literature. And probably inspired many other graphic novelests that came later.
