Loading... Good as Lilyby Derek Kirk Kim, Jesse Hamm (Illustrator)
  
None No current Talk conversations about this book. I liked the idea of this book - the past and future selves of a young woman meeting all at once. It is an interesting idea for a memoir. However, the deeper parts of the book weren't developed too well. I hardly knew who Lily was, then suddenly she was very important. However, I gave it a three because of the cleverness of the story and the fact that I liked the characters. (  ) JoanAxthelm | Aug 4, 2017 |  Reviewed from interlibrary loan copy. It wasn't quite what I was expecting in a graphic novel about four versions of a person. ( ) kcarrigan | Aug 26, 2013 | I am crazy for Derek Kirk Kim, and even though Good As Lily is not as well-written or drawn as Same Difference, it's better than any of the other Minx books and better than most comix this year. (  ) anderlawlor | Apr 9, 2013 | I'm pretty pleased--even impressed--with the Minx line so far, despite its stupid name. Derek Kirk Kim and Jesse Hamm--what else do I need to say? I enjoyed this quite a bit. A little too generic to be 5-star, but kept me guessing enough for 4. ( ) librarybrandy | Mar 29, 2013 | in Graphic Novel Section utcaas | Jul 21, 2011 |
 Kim's writing really shines here. In a few deft and spare scenes, he takes Grace (and her other selves) on a journey through which she is forced to confront and overcome her fears and flaws -- and not always with happy outcomes. Plotwise, the book is dense, with plenty happening. The reader is involved in events at just the right level — they’re not spelled out simply, but everything’s there if paying attention.
