Reviews

[Sandra Lopez · Rating 3 out of 5]

This graphic novel picks up where Lost in Guyville left off. Oscar was still living at his parents’ house when Alex moved to CA; now he’s venturing off on his own.

This book follows the lives of eight different characters. Amelia is on a flight home and has a bizarre dream.

The characters start off fairly modern and normal, then drift off into Hippie Dippie Land, a strange, fantasy realm in their brains. It was weird! The art was just so bizarre.

None of the stories really evolved and didn’t end. The sketches were nice, but still child-like.

I’d say readers are much better off with Lost in Guyville by this author. This book was just not worth it. Definitely not worth the $6 Kindle price.

Definitely a more mature graphic novel. There is 8 different characters that did not really connect in their stories. I haves enjoyed her other graphic novels much better. Not sure about this one.
