Daytripper

Took it from the library because the kind librarian advised me to (after he heard what my favorite books are). I thought it was beautiful reflection on fatherhood and life. Just what I needed.

'Firmly based on reality, the most difficult thing wasn't trying to create a work that would LOOK real. No, the hardest thing was creating a world that would FEEL real.'

These lines in the sketches section capture so much of the beauty of this book.

Wonderful, evocative, indelible.

A beautiful, meditative story.

This book is something very special. It's an exceptional experience. You might start out simply reading it, but before you know it this graphic novel becomes a completely absorbing journey. It is the intimate, emotional, bittersweet experience of sharing someone else's life (a life that is fictitious, but manages to feel very real), - its highs and lows, joys and sorrows, births and deaths - as only a great book can enable one to do. The wonderful writing and expressive art drew me in effortlessly until, when it ended, I was left, tears in my eyes, needing a quiet moment to just be still, to reflect and appreciate the achievement of twin brothers Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá. This is a masterful piece of work, one that I would eagerly recommend both to people who already enjoy comics and those who aren't necessarily fans of the medium.

This is a fine example of a one-volume, quite independently driven piece of graphic novel, written and inked by two Brazilian brothers who reiterate the stories of lives going on and re-on, and I shan't say too much about the gist of this as you'll just have to read it yourself to have the magic unfurl, as it were.

It focuses on a character from the start of his life, and goes on. It stops, and goes on. And so on. Oh, the Humanity.

It's much more than that, and while I'd like to go in-depth on it, it would spoil the entire thing even though I think it wouldn't be spoiled if you heard it.

Beautiful artwork, and an interesting story about the pivotal moments in one man's life. Loved it.
