Book Reviews of Epileptic
Book Review: A Therapy Session
Summary: 3 Stars
The artwork is amazing; detailed and with life in spit of being in only two colors. David B. brings a real idiosyncratic and interesting style to the page.
But, I'm not sure if I like the premise of the book. His brother had fairly severe epilepsy. His parents go far and wide to seek out a cure for his brother's disease. These two things define who David is, and who he becomes. The story, while reaching no resolution, is interesting. I learned much about the existence of fringe beliefs that represent what the parents sought out. I understand that David was self-centered as a child, but it seems that he never grew out of this. While he doesn't try to paint himself in glowing light, this book is too much about the author/protagonist. His sister disappears for most of the book, for example.
While the book was well done, it was hard to read because I had little sympathy for the author. I'm somewhat sorry I invited myself to his therapy session.
