I made it 300 pages in and couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't sympathize with any of the characters.

This felt like it had a little more resolution than Tomine's previous collections. I really like the subtlety in his stories.

Attempting to tackle this beast. So far, so good

How can something be so fun, yet dark?! This is a graphic novel that confronts that feeling of being something other, of being labeled and misunderstood, all told with cute graphics and spunk.

It was cute! I wanted to know more about the necklace, though...

This title page tho.

Picked this up on a whim! I judge books by their covers.

It had its ups and downs, but overall was an interesting read. I found some of the chapters boring and I get the sense that Alex disguises a lot of her conniving as just being a "formless, lost girl." Maybe I'm morbid, but I was disappointed that more page time wasn't dedicated to the corpse guy.

I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about this book. I'm classifying it as a memoir, and Alex and I don't always agree. I don't know if I can trust her. I sympathize with her draw to the liminal, but is that impetuous enough?

This is one of the best writing books out there. I don't even like Stephen Kings fiction that much and I'm obsessed with this book.

I'm always comparing everything to House of Leaves.

This is a great cover.

One of the scariest books I've ever read.

You'll be surprised by how funny this still is.

This is in my top five. That's saying something.

I was so bored with this in school.

Not my favorite Paulsen book. Stay on dry land, Gary.

Get your Christian iconography out of here. Also I read this in Spanish, which was tedious.

I don't think I found this as poignant as I should have, but still an important read.

Now if only I could tackle Ulysses.

One of the foundation stones of my being.

Unexpectedly good.

I was forced to read this in college and meet the man and his giant lying head and I hated it.

Eh...

It didn't live up to my expectations, but I still enjoyed it.

Ugh this broke my heart. And I liked it.

I loved this. I should reread it though.

The ending made me so mad that I left this book on a school bus.

Tennessee is the best.

Another one of my sad girl obsession accessories.

I read it for college. I wasn't impressed.

I forced myself to read this as a kid.

Sorry Obama. You're a decent dude, but this was boring.

I didn't like it as much as the first one, but can you blame me?

Mostly wonderful.

So good. So liberating, in an odd way.

Too much hype.

I studied under Martin in college and he was a great teacher, but this novel was not for me.

Hemingway was an ass, but he could write.

I liked this much better than Break the Skin.

Possibly the only fiction from King I've liked.

No. Bad. Even I, at 14, knew this was garbage.

Lord of the Flies for gents.

Maybe I'm just not getting it.

Does this review make me insensitive?

I'm putting this on my reread list.

Why won't you spill your soul to me, Bob? Tarantula was more revelatory.

Not my favorite Caiman, but good.

This was my favorite in the series.

Kill me. Just kill me.
