“To sleepwalk is to be inhabited, yes, but not by something else, so much. What you’re being inhabited by, when kicking one foot in front of the other, it’s yourself” (2) 

“When you come back from the dead, you’re a spirit, you’re nothing, just some leftover intention, some unassociated memory… except, in that state, when it’s hurt like that, when the cat isn’t watching the way it usually does, something else can creep in. Something dead” (37)

This one’s a little complicated for me. There’s parts of this book I loved. And then there’s parts that really didn’t make me feel good. It took me a long time to get through this book- teens tackle some heavy stuff in their books, huh? 

Cool illustrations. Love a talking dog companion. WAY too big a concept to try to execute in a 200 page graphic novel.
