challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.0

There's nothing I can say about Fun Home that hasn't already been said by better, smarter people with better, smarter vocabulary, so I'll just say that I found this book deeply relatable, deeply sad, and deeply hopeful. It's a gorgeous book with gorgeous prose and gorgeous illustrations. I highly recommend it, but it's not for the faint of heart.

literaryinluv's review against another edition

dark emotional funny hopeful reflective slow-paced

3.75

You can't really put a rating on someone's life or perspective of their life. But you can on the execution. This memoir is littered with literary references, sometimes to a fault, but I enjoyed most of them anyway. However, it also got a bit convoluted due to this. Overall, though, I enjoyed it, and I believe the rating may be higher if I read it a second time in the future.
