i bought this book on sale for less than $2.99 

i thought it would give some insight on the parallels between the iraq war & palestine under occupation, that didn't happen which is fine i guess. i could've done without the racism, sexism, homophobia & ableism it really didn't add anything to the story so there was no point in adding it at all. i found the dad character insufferable for 90% of this novel.

Honestly this graphic novel was horrid. I like to read books from authors all over the world and I try to have some understanding that cultural beliefs are different. I try to read things with an open mind. This was racist, sexist, homophobic, violent, anti-Semitic, and full of horror. There were no redeeming qualities, no good storyline, no likeable characters- even the art was awful. It was just horrid, do yourself a favor and skip this one

Always hard to judge a memoir...
I feel on the fence about this one: while I like Riad Sattouf's candid honesty and his childlike look on his surroundings, his father's behavior and some other behaviors in this book are quite hard to stomach.
