It took me a while to decide how to rate this book but I think 4/5 is right for how much I enjoyed it. From other reviews I think you need to know a couple of things before you pick this one up,
1) It's very short and is an easy read in one sitting, although if you're like me you want to read it twice to not miss things.
2) It's not a comedy, it has funny moments but that's not the main focus.
3) There is no clear resolution and the characters and events can be interpreted in different ways. I liked this but others will hate it.
Give these caveats it was a really interesting and thoughtful book and the drawing style is perfect for this kind of story.
