5.0 out of 5 stars Hillarious!
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2002

I have never read a comic like this before. Most Vertigo books seem to have an Alan Moore feel to it, but this is completely different! Funny comics tend to be silly, surreal or corny, but this isn't! Its firmly grounded in the real world, despite its strange title, except for an unrealistic ending.
The story follows a New York columnist's quest to find herself and her relationship with her sister. It doesn't sound like much, but trust me, you'll love it. Some parts of it actually had me laughing out lound, no easy feat.
I have liked his art for a long time, but this is my first exposure to Kyle Baker as a writer and I am impressed. There are no flashy fight scenes or splash pages or anything like that. Although the art is pleasant, the book is carried on the strength of the writing alone... no gimmicks whatsover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Talk for My Tastes
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2007

There's lot of amusing insights into relationships here, combined with visuals by a very gifted artist.

Unfortunately, the relationships ring hollow to me -- I just don't believe in Anne, Ricky, and what's-her-name as real people. They seem designed mainly for humour.

The early part of the book is non-stop talking heads with little or no plot or action. The early chapters could be interchanged without much problem. The visuals liven up the succession of heads, but I found the artwork a little too lively; with shots from every angle, and expressions jumping from joy to angst in rapid succession.

The latter half of the book livens up with Anne's trip to LA and San Francisco. There was some action, and events that I could believe in.

The road-trip elements at the end of the book might suggest "Thelma and Louise", but I believe this book was first published before the movie (?).

Don't buy this edition. It was clearly transcribed/OCRed without proofreading and averages about one typo per page.

Not your typical comic. The main character reminded me of the lead in Russian Doll - feisty, funny.

4.0 out of 5 stars randomness, dysfunction, and a whole lot of crazy
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2007

A fun read. The main character (who is the least self-aware of the bunch) is set as the observer which makes for a style of story telling that feels very chaotic and random but yet really works well. The artwork is great.....very frenetic but also very playful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wildly Underrated
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024
Kyle Baker can draw better than anyone. If you know how to draw this good and write this good then you deserve all the praise in the world.

This book is a personal piece of art and many comic book fans aren't gonna get it. If you like gorgeous loose illustration and you have gotten abusively drunk in a Mexican bar more than once then this is the book for you.

Funny, tragic, beautiful. Can't wait to read it again.

Early work of Kyle Baker, not the same as his later style, very evocative of the New York scene in the 1980's. Funny.
