4.0

A long, full read, spanning four years and multiple characters. I appreciated the breadth of this graphic novel, for even though there were repeating characters, we also got snippets of a variety of different people. The genuine care taken for non-straight representation was also a nice touch. However, I definitely got confused at multiple points about who was who and this isn't the most accessible work if you don't know much about Berlin history (which I do not).
