All that being said, this is a very effective and evocative project. It's exceptionally well-researched and structured well. While there is no offered solution past the examination and acceptance of the phenomenon of American loneliness, it does reach out a hand to hold. This book ultimately validates a lot of emotions stemming from isolation and offers: we are not alone in our loneliness. It's not much, but we've gotta start somewhere.

no graphic imagery is shown, but there are brief but graphic descriptions of animal abuse in a research context.moonbrained's review against another edition

3.5
While I did learn a fair bit, I did find that things got repetitive at times. Considering this, I thought the graphic novel could have been a little shorter. I also think it would have been really interesting if Radtke did a deeper exploration on loneliness during the pandemic a bit more, instead of just touching on it.
I wouldn’t say it was a revolutionary read, but it certainly was a contemplative one.
