One of the best-selling and critically-acclaimed graphic novels of all-time telling the story of two supremely ironic, above-it-all teenagers facing the thrilling uncertainty of life after high school. As they attempt to carry their life-long friendship into a new era, the careful dynamics of their inseparable bond are jolted, and what seemed like a future of endless possibilities looks more like an encroaching reality of strip malls, low-paying service jobs and fading memories.

> than the movie, which I saw several years ago now. There's a lot of things I liked...great color palette, great dialogue. I think it's hard to pull off a book, much less a graphic novel, that is full of conversations with very little in the way of visual cues, short on plot, and has an extremely unappealing protagonist. But it works. Love the scene in the grocery store with the Lunchables.
I probably would have loved this when it first came out but reading it 20 years later, I am unimpressed; there's so much more graphic novel awesomeness available now.
The best book on loneliness I've read. That's all I got to say about it. Read it. This one will give you company and misery in equal measure.
