Bottomless Belly Button (2008)

Bottomless Belly Button by Dash Shaw


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I read (if you can call it that) this graphic novel - my first - several weeks ago. Amazingly I was drawn into the story and able to follow the narrative with little difficulty. On the other hand, there were probably many subtleties that eluded me.

It was another of Entertainment Weekly's list of the ten best books of 2008. My experiment with reading these titles, most of which would have held no interest for me, has been quite interesting. They have turned out to be an interesting mix.

Three more to go: House on Fortune Street; The Story of Edgar Sawtelle; and The American Wife.
