What a wild and weird and moving ride this book is. (

For any kind of story, it's always an accomplishment when they manage to tap into and to some extent mirror the reader's actual lives. This one did, pleasantly so even if it wasn't a happy story. And unlike the four previous Cerebus books, the story was quite coherent and self contained, which made it easier to read. The best one so far. (
