For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleThis is a hard one for me to rate. While this book was powerful at times (that last page though!), at others it fell kind of flat. And while I can appreciate the amount of bravery and self-reflection that went into telling this story, it just wasn't th...
Growing up in a small town when you are different is not easy. Add a father who seems to be so exacting, a mother who is intent on her thesis and her theater productions, and siblings who are into their own things makes it harder. Alison knows she does not like the feminine clothing her father wan...
This wasn’t exactly what I thought it would be. I found myself enjoying parts of this graphic novel and then later, I found myself wondering exactly what I was reading. It seemed to have weird transitions between scenes which threw me off and some of the topics were redundant. Overall, not a good no...
I heard about this book from different Book Riot contributors. When it (and the follow up) went on sale, I picked both up. This is my first graphic novel-style memoir, but I like the subgenre.

What were they thinking? If their religious faith is so strong, reading one book would not affect their continuous religious delusion. The writer is a lesbian. And it is about her story. Why are Christians so close-minded? Reading a story of a lesbian would not diminish their faith in religi...
Such a great memoir. Bechdel's graphics really worked for me. I like reading comics/graphic novels, but the images are usually secondary to me. That wasn't the case with Fun House. In terms of reading experiences it reminded me of This One Summer.
An erudite, self-aware feminist memoir, in graphic novel form, examining a lesbian’s childhood relationship with her parents – especially her closeted gay father. Fun Home is chock full of psychoanalysis, literary criticism and commentary on gender, sexuality and suicide. You may recognise the autho...
EDIT: Abril, 2015[Releyendo e a poquito. ¡Qué ganas de comprarlo en físico!]Reseña Original: Enero 2015Estoy un poco revolucionada, así que la siguiente reseña es un desvarío en pocos párrafos. Sepan disculpar. "Not only we were inverts. We were inversions of one another. While I was trying to compe...
