Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton

my first graphic memoir (thus no rating). i found this one okay. i related heavily to the author needing to essentially sell her soul to pay back her student loans and desperately want to enter the field she spend so much time, energy, and money learning about. i completely felt for her horrible experiences in a male-dominated field and the anxiety, anger, and angst were represented really well on the pages. felt a little drawn out and monotonous at times and was definitely way more disjointed than i would have liked. i was confused for a good few chunks of the book. also, not enough ducks to warrant the title. thanks for sharing your story Kate.
