This was OK. I liked it more as a book about living in New York in the 80's than about this guy sleeping with different women every night because he couldn't afford a place to live after getting kicked out of Columbia. There's just very little story here and there's nothing connecting these little asides together. At times they even felt out of order. I don't know, I just thought there'd be more to it.
I guess I should have read the description of this book a little better because it was definitely more than I bargained for. The art was pretty good, but the story didn't interest me as well as I thought it was going to. The author spent more time describing the druggy friend than anything else. I felt like the story was flat and the more I read the I kept hoping for some kind of arc but sadly I never got one. Maybe it was just me, but I just could not get into this book.
What started as an interesting read, quickly deteriorated into a boring story, about a guy who was down on his luck. Due to the story narrative, which should have been interesting, not being engaging, I really didn't care what happened to this guy.
This was a disappointing read.
This was a creative and inventive use of the graphic novel medium. I would gladly recommend it for readers who enjoy a good visual story.
An overly wordy comic about a guy who wants to have his cake and eat it, even while never liking the taste. Dumped by his university, unwilling to find a job, almost homeless, he stumbles into a routine of living as a gigolo, only taking room and board off the 'lucky ladies', as opposed to selling himself properly. This carries on too long for his liking, while he tries to find a flat with his junkie friend and wannabe colleague. The book carried on too long for my liking, while the narrator yacked on and on about his First World Problem, until it stopped. Are we supposed to think 'there but for the grace of Dog go I'? Yeah – right.
