Review:
This is a fun filled week of graphic novel reading for me and the next few posts will probably be somewhat boring for those who are not a fan, those of you who are, read on! Remember comics are not just for kids. In this graphic novel, Myrick paints an innocent picture of his youth through vignettes that reflect life growing up in a small town. I would consider this a graphic novel memoir for adults. There are no surprises and it is just a good clean tribute to an American childhood. This is a perfect read for the memoir lover in all of us. Kudos for it being named to Booklist's Top Ten Graphic Novels for Youth 2007!read an excerpt: First Second - Catalog - Missouri Boy
