I wasn't sure what to think when I cracked open this book! The story is told in comic book style, with illustrations and thought bubbles! I have never read a graphic novel and I wasn't sure if I would like the style in which the book was written. I have to say - I just closed the book after finishing it in less than 24 hours and I am extremely impressed with how the author, Laurie Sandell, put this story together. This style works extremely well for this story and I am so happy I read it! Because of all the illustrations, the book reads very quickly, so it's possible to finish it in one sitting. Don't be put off by the illustrations, though - the story itself is engaging and thought-provoking. The only caution I give is this. There are comic illustrations of nudity, so just be careful where you are reading this book!!
Laurie Sandell grew up in awe of her father and all of his mesmerizing stories. As she gets older, she begins to question her father and learns that he is not who he says he is. As Laurie digs deeper into her father's life, she struggles to learn who she really is along the way. This is a coming-of-age story that will keep you quickly turning the pages to see what will happen next! Definitely recommended!

I haven't read this yet because I was so upset that I ordered a book with everything in cartoon pictures. Paperback should have mentioned this when they were selling it. I was livid when I received it. I would never have ordered it had I known. Its a soft cover comic book. And I paid for the lousy thing. With my luck this will be #1 on the Times best seller list and probably be named Book of the Year. I don't think I can even stand to read it. I feel like I've been taken. Too bad I can't give it -0- stars.
Ok, I have now read it and it still is lousy. It's a stupid comic book. What a rip off. I'm still fuming that I had to pay for a high price for that comic book.
