Quite a helpful picture book that sums up his life and who he encounters. I think it’s a very big task to be able to try and sum up the entirety of Freud’s life work in a book (a picture one no less). But the art was interesting and I gained a general understanding. Unfortunately I don’t think Freud’s work is an interest for me but I won’t base that decision on one book. I’ll try another with this being my first introduction. Broad at it his, I see it as more of a history book with specific parts you can pick and choose to delve into. Overall, a decent non fiction comic as far as they go.
