Is this what it's like to have schizophrenia and then take all the drugs at once?
Every time I thought I knew what was happening I was like wait...what? It's almost a brilliant story about getting sober, or is it? I feel like I need to read it again, but I don't actually want to. And I need to return it to the library like two weeks ago so that's definitely not happening.
It's very hard to rate. Maybe 2.5? The art is excellent, but the story feels like the author was high af.
I feel like this was written for a very specific audience that I only partly fit into. I don't want to say it's bad, I just think it wasn't meant for me. I appreciate that it seems to be heavily inspired by Fallout 3, and that it get's all existential about learning to move past pain, but the path was a bit lost on me.

DNF - cool premise, beautiful drawings, and delightfully strange but ultimately too gross for me to continue reading.

I was really into this at first, loved the art and was enjoying the plot and action. But less than a third of the way in it got WAY too vague and lost all its momentum. I'm willing to 'go with it' through a lot of vague and weird things, but it has to be interesting and at least vaguely follow-able. It also fell into characters just explaining the story for really long periods, rather than anything actually happening.

Art was great, theme was great.
Non-linear story felt jumbled. Maybe if i was willing to commit more mental energy to it. IDK, lots of pieces i liked that never really felt like they came together in a coherent way. Not unhappy i read it, but not exactly sure what i just read.

The things that were good in this book were the character Hollis and the art. The rest was totally not for me.

The art is cool but the story just didn’t click with me. Too much of a fever dream and didn’t seem to follow any linear thought from page to page. I just never got caught up in it.

Phenomenal art and color, but the story got lost and it was just too confusing by the middle.
