5.0
This was my first time reading a graphic novel memoir and I am so delighted that All My Bicycles is my entry point to the genre. All My Bicycles is Powerpaola's memoir as told through the various bicycles she's owned throughout her life. This novel is gorgeous both in the illustrations and prose; Powerpaola's style is dreamy and captivating.
I loved seeing her bicycles as a method of freedom and also how they came into and out of her life. This was especially touching as a cyclist myself, I remember all my bicycles, where they took me both physically and emotionally - and this memoir does an incredible job of reflecting all of that.
I truly can't recommend the novel enough, it's a fairly quick read and her illustrations will continue to stick with me.
Many thanks to the publisher, Fantagraphics, for providing me an advanced reader copy in exchange for my review.
