Methodical in its examination, relentless in its retelling, and thunderous in visual style, I picked Stitches up on a whim at a book sale yesterday afternoon, began reading it a few hours ago, and finished it in one fell swoop. Stunning work, and visually arresting.

This book was really good I think but really really hard for me to read, both because it talks a lot about Trauma and Big Medical Trauma and also because I did not really like the art style. I stopped in the middle to read Toast and Jam for Frances which IS a very good book

Easily one of the most tangibly painful and depressing books I've ever read. Gorgeous art though and the perfect depiction of such a bleak and awfully sad story.

An intense, sad story. I really enjoyed the artwork and the way it was used in shaping the story and conveying many shades of emotions.

The subject matter is certainly dark and evocative. It is hard to imagine the pains, both physical and mental, that the author went through living in a dysfunctional family.
