A review by jenny_librarian
EmiTown, Vol. 1 by Jamie S. Rich, Emi Lenox
Did not finish book.
2.0
I couldn't get past the first month. The only reason I gave this book 2 stars is for the drawings that could be really cute at times.
There was nothing linking one day to the next. It's great that Emi Lenox did a comics diary, but there is no obvious point to it for the reader. Sure, the drawings are good - although usually quite simple - but there was nothing to draw me in and make me enjoy her world. It's the kind of diary that should have stayed private (or at the manuscript stage at least). A published work should be for the author, but mainly made with the idea that people will read it. This book is not something that someone who has no emotional ties to Lenox would read.
And I would really like to know what those blue post-its with numbers and letters on them are about...
