I finished it in two sittings. Even though it's a graphic novel, it is very clever and deep. I appreciated David Mazzucchelli's thoughtfulness in making everything come full circle in the end. I was also impressed with the author's skills in using colors, drawing, and penmanship in different styles to visually differentiate individual characters. It's all very human and existential. It's a book where you'll glean something new no matter how many times you read it. Unfortunately, the protagonist is not one that I cared for and it's difficult for me to care much or recommend a book if I don't empathize with the main character. If you're on the fence about it, borrow a copy from the library.
