Reviews

[Maria · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not much to say about this book. Everything you need to understand is evident after the first couple of pages: it is very funny, with an all-encompassing, uncompromising brutality. I can safely assume it's not everyone's cup of tea. However, if: a) you can take some quite disturbing thoughts and images, and b) want to read something quite unique, and charming in its own (very) special way, then read Schizo. It's gooooood.

Novela gráfica con el humor más corrosivo y cáustico que haya leído.

Βαρέθηκα την κλάψα του Brunetti.
Κλάψα, κλάψα και λύση καμία.
Μηδενιστικο κόμικ καταθλιπτικό, κριτική στην σύγχρονη κοινωνία, αλλά χωρίς νόημα, χωρίς πρόταση για διέξοδο. Γκρίνια

4 weird and wonderful messed up comics. Some things were funny. Others not so. 3/5
