Review previously placed on my blog:

I'm currently reading Ducks by Kate Beaton. I'm reading an owned copy. Reading this one for a buddy read. This is a graphic novel memoir. 

Very conflicted about this book. I really love the illustrations. The story is very interesting so far. I just hate all the sexism in this book. But that is of course the experience the author had, which is horrendous. Just tough to read about, but very important to do so. My enjoyment is therefore not very high, but I do think it's a great book so far.

My enjoyment was still very low for this book throughout, so that would be 3 stars. But the book itself is definitely 5 stars. It's very beautiful and well written I think. Therefore my rating is in the middle of those two ratings.
