Remember that all-consuming thrill of a family vacation where you ventured away repeatedly like a moth to a flame and experienced far beyond the bounds that were all you knew til* then?
It always involves someone much different than you and stirs emotions you didn't know you had.
Then you get into the car and everything is excruciating familiar and you have a desperate sadness with a painful longing to get back to the wonderland of adventure as you drive off. When you get home you think of nothing but how much more of that experience you wish you could have had: you want to escape back to that still fresh dream.

As good as it gets

Delicate coming-of-age story that manages for the most part to avoid the pitfall comix cliches of horror, fantasy or prurience; the author shows great empathy with a young girl's mind. Lovely manga-influenced graphic style; excruciatingly convincing dialogue to convey the family background; atmosphere in spades. A gem.
Interesting, yet confusing

I recently read "Lost Girl." It is a mix between a comic book and novel. I liked the drawings and the plot, yet I found myself slightly confused at the end.
