I found this book in a bag of stuff ditched by my sister in law and I totally fucking hated everything about it

So many people I know are raving about this show, so I thought I’d check out the graphic novel. Subjectively? I don’t care for it. At all. It’s just not my taste and I found it fell flat. Objectively I can see it’s intrigue: dark, almost paradoxical, and the simple art style amplified the twists the narration takes. I can see how others would be taken in with the story.
But I just don’t like it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1 star. I can't be bothered to write a review. I do not understand the appeal.

This may be the first time the show was better than the book. I loved the Netflix series...this book, not so much.

Short and enjoyable, "TEOTFW" is a Badlandesque story about an anti-social teenager and his devoted girlfriend. Charles Forsman perpetuates brilliantly a tradition known to the indie comic world; creating an unconventional, riveting and compelling world full of weirdos and nuts.
TEOTFW is not the most unforgettable graphic novel of all times, but there's an undeniable charm to it.

The Netflix series of this took me by surprise and left me in the deepest of feels and absolutely shook. It was that good. I absolutely loved it and got excited when i realized it was based on this graphic novel. Netflix really did a great job of bringing the vision of this book to life and foreal y'all need to read AND watch the tv show!
