Blankets by Craig ThompsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A 500-pages long graphical novel, an autobiographical visualisation of adolescence and partly childhood of the author in Wisconsin in the beginning of the 1990s.
Beautifully drawn, sentimental and as deep as the emotional life of a 16-year old can be. First real love, grappling with what is right and wrong, understanding own values, understanding what one really wants - this is probably all too familiar to many who have gone through it.
And gives an excellent picture of what a life in a deeply Christian family living in a small town in the U.S. could have been back in the 1990s.
