It certainly takes a while to get used to Greenberg's handwriting (sometimes it's so small! Sometimes it's too curly!), but the art is clear and vivid.
But where's the plot? Is it really just Charlotte telling a figment of her imagination what happened a long time ago in Glass Town? This seems to require the reader to bring in a lot of context and knowledge with them to the reading, and I just didn't really care.
Valente's Glass Town Game is much better.
