Edit: 4.5 stars, rounded up, not down. I haven't stopped thinking about this graphic novel since I read it. I'm putting it on my favourites shelf.-----------------Original review:Grotesque, sexy, romantic, and horrific. A compelling and tragic metaphor for youth, alienation, and suppressed sexuality...
