Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware

2.0

There are some really captivating images and panels; but reading this felt like a chore and a mini-weights session given the size of the tome. The story is extremely dull and depressing; I don't know if I would call this a plot- or character-driven read because both were so blah. Many of the main characters were barely distinguishable from one another. The actual novel itself was also really hard to read in terms of how you're meant to follow the different images and the use of tiny cursive text.

I tried to read a few reviews to get why this it touted as such a big deal, and yeah, I'm just not quite there.
