( ) It's not easy to spend time with Enid and Rebecca, the self-designated hipster heroines of Ghost World. Their attitude towards eccentricity is mixture of loathing and pity, which is supposed to, I guess, reflect their insecurity. As they both develop feelings towards the same boy, it is clear that they both want something more but are too mired in their sneering detachment.
This book is a fascinating insight into the mind of the disenfranchised youngster, and anyone who can remember being there will probably understand the journey the girls are going on. Has the adaptationAwardsNotable Lists
One of the best-selling and critically-acclaimed graphic novels of all-time telling the story of two supremely ironic, above-it-all teenagers facing the thrilling uncertainty of life after high school. As they attempt to carry their life-long friendship into a new era, the careful dynamics of their inseparable bond are jolted, and what seemed like a future of endless possibilities looks more like an encroaching reality of strip malls, low-paying service jobs and fading memories.
