Work details12 Days by June Kim
None. Oh wow. I picked this up for its slightly creepy, slightly disturbed synopsis. Wow. This is a beautiful story of loss and mourning and love and breaking and the start of healing. Its quiet gentle pace works so well, and the art complements it beautifully. There are panels of maybe reaching out but maybe not. It's beautiful, quiet, low-key, mature, gentle, and heart-rending. I highly recommend it. (  ) GinnyTea | Mar 31, 2013 |  I found this book hard to follow at times, but the illustrations are superb. Overall I enjoyed it, but I have to say it was also profoundly sad. (  ) lemontwist | Dec 13, 2009 | The author does not follow a chronological pattern for the remainder of the novel, but rather takes us on a roller coaster of Jackie’s emotions throughout her complicated relationship with Noah to where she is now. The reader is left with a good grasp on Jackie’s current and past emotional state. The illustrator, June Kim, is Korean and illustrates in a Manga format. (  ) jcloke | Nov 30, 2009 | A tale of a girl trying to get over the death of her lover by drinking the departed's ashes. I found this "OEL Manga" rambling and pointless, with flashbacks that were hard to distinguish from the story's 'present', and uninspiring characters. ( ) SeiShonagon | Jul 6, 2008 |
 It’s the kind of book that one can reread years later and find very different things, because the reader will have changed in the intervening years and will bring another self to the work. Then again, one may read it twice in a row and notice new elements as more pieces fall into place.
No descriptions found. "When Jackie's ex-lover Noah dies, she decides the best and quickest way to get over the love of her life is to hold a personal ritual with Noah's ashes. Jackie consumes the ashes in the form of smoothies for 12 days-- hoping the pain will subside with her profound reaction to Noah's death" -- p. [4] of cover.… (more) (summary from another edition) |
