This wasn‘t my favorite Hopkins book I‘ve read, but I appreciated the story and how it reflected on her personal experiences. I finished it in a day and although it was fairly predictable I enjoyed the story and felt for the main character.

I‘m usually not one to read graphic novels, however I felt that Blankets was not only beautifully illustrated but an interesting and moving peek into a life. It was a quick read and brought up memories of the times in my life Craig writes about, like first loves and childhood struggles. I‘d highly recommend it.

This was one of my least favorites by Hopkins. The book bounced between different characters and there was only some verse sprinkled in as the voice of violence throughout. The ending kind of disappointed me as well, as it was not the direction I hoped the story was going.
