Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure: A Graphic Novel
by Lewis Hancox
funny
hopeful
informative
inspiring
lighthearted
reflective
fast-paced
This graphic novel's simplistic aesthetic, from the coloring to the art style to the portrayal of events, makes the story and its message more accessible to readers.
Reading the eye dialect was a bit challenging for one who reads primarily non eye dialect American English, especially with "reet" in the first half of the book. I eventually got the hang of it. The technique highlights the non-fiction aspect of the story and places the reader closer within the story itself.
While the simplicity of the graphic novel makes it accessible, it leaves room for questions as well, especially for those in a less supportive and/or more complicated situation. Of course, this book is not meant to cover all of the readers' possible concerns. If anything, the book is designed to be an introduction of and looking glass into the life of someone growing up and realizing their trans. This is done in hopes that it inspires readers who are facing similar troubles to be kinder to their past selfs as they grow into their future selfs.
