Week 11

This week i read the reccomended David Mazzucchelli, Asterios Polyp. 
It was alright, the story was a little confusing at times with the second brother and then him being "alive" and them meeting but not really. I hated the main character he was a super jerk and really didnt deserve anything good to come to him. i thought it was kind of racist to draw the Japanese girl with anime-ish eyes. overall i thought the art style was interesting i liked how often it changed and why it changed sometimes to fit the dialog like when the marriage was falling apart everything would come apart in the drawing and i though that was a good way to reflect the overall tone.
I also liked how the fonts changed with each character and their personality, i couldnt read his moms good though because i cant read cursive so it was difficult for me to read her parts. but overall i think the font choices were nice, fitting, and helped establish characters.
my favourite character i think was Ursala, she said the best stuff and was just nice compaired to the main guy who i didnt like.
Overall i thought the book was really pretentious, i loved the colors especially the purples and yellows, and i liked how the art style would change and the fonts and i guess the story was interesting, i cared about the parts where he was at the mechanics place the most but i guess how it was like a past/present story that meets back up at the end type thing. I dont think they should get back together but whatever.
I wouldnt have read this book on my own like most books in my class but i dont regret having to read it like other in this class so i guess thats good in its own right.
