As a kid I read comic books, as an adult I read graphic novels. Until now I never thought that a comic book could affect me like a great work of literature. Most of the time while reading this I had goosebumps because I knew that I was reading something that would stay with me for a long time. This is an incredible piece of literature and it's one that I will read over and over again and each time I do I know that I will come across something I missed the previous time. So good.

When was the last time you dreamt?
I rarely remember and yet Daytripper brought me to tears, in a comfortable, literal sense.
Dreams are part of our day to day vocabulary, especially if you like to read. Day dreams, night terrors, dream states, dreamscapes, and Morpheus/The Sandman all continue to play an important role in lives of readers. Paradoxically, dreams provide authors with a timeless resource. They are universally relatable and and yet magical, though all dreams are different, they are, in essence all the same and her lies this book's magic.
'We are such stuff as dreams are made on' Shakespeare
That quote is over 400 years old. And yet, technology hasn't been able to take away or diminish it.
It could be argued that Moon and Ba have taken this quote as the foundation of their story.
Dreams are one of the last undiscovered isles. They are personal yet universal. Rare and yet omnipresent.It's hard to properly convey the sensations you're bound to feel reading this graphic novel but I think Palahniuk said it best with: "This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time".

A re-read. And better than I remembered. And beautiful. And true. And finishing this makes we want to start over again.
Huh. I'm not sure what I just read but I think it might have been awesome. But it was confusing. And in the end I'm not sure exactly what story it told. Maybe that there are possibilities. And choices. And paths taken and not taken. It's the story of a life following a lot of those paths to abrupt ends. With some fantastic writing and art. And a specific setting that felt both new and familiar.

Loved this. Beautiful story and illustrations.
The bonus for me was Dante the dog. I wish more books had dogs.
