Alias the Cat! by Kim Deitch
3.0
This one of those books that starts out pretty good, gets a lot better, but then totally craps out by the end. Stop reading 2/3 of the way through just read the rest in your imagination maybe.
It's a lot of fun, and full of the gimmicks I love: stories-within-stories, meta-narratives, unreliable narrators, blurring of fact and fiction, and all kinds of good stuff on that front.
I can't imagine what it's like to read if you're not already familiar with Deitch's work, but I don't think you need to be. But if you don't like other stuff he's done you probably needn't bother with this.
