This book is ridiculous, a lot of fun, and at times very real. For the most part it has a nice flow to it even though it flips back and forth through time. The art is fantastic and the writing is solid. Overall a great volume.
For this one I thought the art style and social commentary was interesting, but I didn't care about the characters very much. I also thought the crime was going to be a larger part of the story. Instead this was much more character driven.
This was recommended by a friend and is not my usual style, but it was pretty good. I definitely wouldn't read it anywhere people can peek over your shoulder (unless you are bolder than I am), but it was enjoyable. I will be interested to see where it goes after volume 1.
I liked the art. Plenty awkward. Felt as if this is a 0.5 in the series. I found the time jumps to be super odd and confusing.
Initially gave it 4 stars, but then after reading volume 2 and hating it, my love for this one has gone down a bit as well.. I think I mostly just liked the art-style a lot and how it was something new for me.
Not at all something I would usually pick up as I tend to avoid books that have that much focus on sex. (I have no problem with sex in books, but I don’t personally enjoy books where it’s just about the sex scenes.) But after hearing quite a few people talk about it I got curious so I downloaded the preview to my Ipad, read it & wanted more.
I did enjoy this, yes there was a lot of sex, but it’s so different from let’s say 50 shades of grey (I did read a small part of that one, but could not continue.) I really liked the art style as well, especially during the orgasms (yeah I realize that sounds a little weird..) Curious to see where the story is going to go in the next volume!

The non-chronological storytelling and realistic dialogue sometimes made it hard for me to follow the plot. Not enough signaling what's going on with multiple Suzies (or other characters who are more metaphorical than literal) in a panel (which, I understand, is a stylistic choice). For the most part, though, I was a fan of the sexy librarian and her bad-boy lover. More of a fan of her than him, even if he is enough of a book-nerd to quote the beginning of Lolita in the middle of a party.
I was amused by (but a little confused by the screenplay-y wording of) the meta bit about not having the rights to a song. Also, the Photo Swap thing at the very end was adorable. I liked that they described themselves as "the writer of "Hawkeye" and "the guy who talks to Applebee's on Facebook."

Sex Criminals tells the story of Suzie and Jon, who both have the unique ability to stop time when they orgasm. When they find each other, they start to use their secret to their advantage. Then they realize, to their surprise, that they are not the only people in the world with this ability...I can't say much more without spoilers!
My brother and sister highly recommended this to me, and I was not sure I would like it. However, I flew through it and really enjoyed it. The story was poignant and funny and absurd. One of the things I loved the most was the detail put into the pictures. Every poster, book, TV in the background had something clever or funny in it. I will definitely continue reading this to see where the story goes.

This was a really funny graphic novel! It’s completely wacky, and laugh out loud funny! I would definitely recommend it for a funny, unique read.
