Winkie

by Clifford Chase
- Rated 3 stars
“A book about a teddy that comes to life, tries to figure his place in world but gets arrested for terrorism along the way.

I can't do this book justice, i'd recommend it.

However i did feel it took it self a little too seriously and handled it's message heavily without seeing and taking advantage of it's surreal/quirky premise. (And the middle 3rd drags and almost jumps the shark)”

My Father Bleeds History

by Art Spiegelman
- Rated 4 stars
“This book does a great job at humanizing the horrors of the holocaust. This should be a set text for anyone studying the era.

A brilliant read about a writer trying to understand his father who lived though the war and survived Auschwitz.”
