This is my second reading of Ducks. I'm a long time fan of Beaton and the comics about her life were always interesting. It's fascinating to look into someone else's life. It's not just another world, it's their view of an entirely different world. But tragically many things are still the same

5.0

Kate Beaton’s sequential storytelling is reflective and moving. I learned a lot about the Canadian oil sands and the people who work there in search of financial hope like herself. Nothing is ever black and white and I think Kate illustrates that reality beautifully. Everyone who works in the sands is changed, even Kate.

The great Canadian graphic novel, it is an exploration of what people will put up with when they need to take care of themselves, and how others will take advantage of those because of their lack of resources.

Be aware that the novel does explore workplace abuse, hardship, and harassment. If you got out of a bad job, please read with care.
