This was a recommendation by the online database that I have access to via my public library. It's certainly different in terms of what I would normally read when it comes to comics but the premise did interest me a lot so I decided to give it a shot. It was interesting to say the least but it was a little difficult to follow it in the very beginning. Once I got a handle of what was going on, it did keep me interested. The artwork is certainly different and unfortunately not to my tastes but it didn't keep me from not reading it. I'm interested in reading other things by the author since I don't want to judge the author on just this work alone.

dark sad

2.5

The book itself is as much an experiment as the bringing back of people from the dead in the story is. I couldn't tell characters apart for the life of me, and even being able to make out what was happening or what I was looking at in some of the panels was hard. The concept itself is interesting, and the plot explores it from a much more cynical angle than I expected, but ultimately ends on a note that just let me confused more than anything. It is luckily a tiny volume and a very quick read—I finished in 30 minutes—otherwise I might not have bothered finishing.

Le graphisme est original. J'ai eu pourtant du mal avec les pages en couleurs très sombres (lire sur du mauve foncé, pas simple). L'histoire est sans grande originalité, à mon humble opinion. Selon certaines critiques sur Goodreads, le récit relèverait du genre "New Bleak" (à creuser donc).

The choice to have each page be a different color, repeating in a pattern, and then illustrate mostly in black line drawings was interesting and effective. In an impressively short number of pages, a deep and thought-out story was developed.
