This wasn't my favorite graphic novel, in large part because I felt like the whimsical character on the book's front didn't at all match (in terms of tone) the one depicted on the inside. Wilson is your classic misanthrope (with some autistic traits thrown in for good measure). While some of his commentary on the world is biting and caustic, its accumulation was less trenchant and more tiresome. That said, I enjoyed the aesthetic of the drawings themselves and how Wilson, himself, looked different in ways that may or may not have corresponded with the themes of the various panels. I would certainly give Clowes another try, but am not waiting with baited breath for Wilson's sequel.
This was a true page turner... but I felt like Brown was cheating. He left so many cliffhangers that it was almost a cheap shot. It was the first book I couldn't even put down when I was driving! I had to have my sister read it to me outloud!!
