A review by ljrinaldi
Space Boy Volume 2 by Stephen McCranie
4.0
Amy finally manages to talk to the white haired boy she noticed in the first volume of this delightful story of a girl, who is both out of place, and out of time.
And Oliver is a bit like her. He seems to be dislocated from life, and although Amy can sense a smell about everyone else, Oliver has no smell.
"Once I accepted the nothing, I felt nothing, and that was a form of freedom," he says.
One reviewer said it was a slow story, but if you are reading it as a race, yes, it might seem slow, but we are seeing everything through Amy's eyes, a life she has only seen in movies, and one she is still adapting to.
So, it doesn't bother me with Oliver's mystery not yet being solved. I know that the next volume will be even more fun.
