Fun House is intellectual and vulnerable. The cartoon style really helps show the emotion behind the complex thoughts. I was not familiar with all the literature references so I feel like I missed some points of the book :(

Read for book club. 
There were structurally elements I really enjoyed, and reams of intertextuality that flew over my head. 
Loved a lot of the details in the background of the illustrations, and found it pleasingly easy to follow despite my lack of experience with graphic novels. 

Not what I expected, knowing that it had been turned into a musical, although I’m not sure what it was that I did expect. 

An engaging read - I pretty much read in a single sitting. 

((Personally, I found the most powerful beats all fell in the opening chapter))
