As a prefix to this review, I haven't read many graphic novels so I tend to rate them against novels. That being said I really enjoyed this, knowing it was highly rated meant I went into it expecting certain things and for the most part it lived up to those expectations.
 
 The artwork was great, but more significantly the diversity of the styles was amazing. I loved how the way characters were drawn varied based on the perspectives / emotions of the scene being portrayed. The scope of the story was well judged to the length of the book and the switching between dreams and reality was beautifully done. 

What I would have liked maybe more of would have been delving into the lives of some of the secondary characters and a look at the world from their perspectives, though it could potentially break the feeling of the novel. The ending seems to be a bit divisive, but I have to say I loved it. This is a book I think warrants more than one read to fully grasp the whole meaning so next time I have a chance I’ll give it another read.
