re-read 18 months or so after first reading and my mixed feelings have turned into total adoration. it's so funny and sad and empathetic.

Filled with teen angst. I would have probably loved this when I was 15. Now that I'm old and bitter? This book just annoyed me.

If there is a better book about being bored, feeling weird and wanting out as a teeneger in the 1990's, I don't know of it.

It was alright, but I didn't think any of these characters were likable or relatable at all. Maybe the movie was better?

Daniel Clowes definitely has a specific and singular style in both his drawings as well as his storytelling, I just don't think I like the style. There is a penchant for the grotesque and the off-putting, it seems as though he really wants to try to be as edgy and offensive as possible, but it ultimately feels performative and empty of vision other than provocation for provocation's sake. Plus every single character in this book is unlikable, boring, and vapid. Overall I just don't think this was for me.

The movie was much better. Which says a lot....
This is a mans attempt to write teenage feminine angst....
