Animal Crackers by Gene Luen Yang
3.0
I just loved [b:American Born Chinese|118944|American Born Chinese|Gene Luen Yang|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171765431s/118944.jpg|114515] so I was a little disappointed in this earlier work. It's a wacky story, with magic realism and sci-fi elements. I mean - really - animal crackers come alive. Things are plugged into noses. It's a bit odd. And I really hated that the smart girl goes for the dumb guy. But that's my own neurosis.
I like Yang's illustration style, and I identify with his general vibe and voice. And I LOVED the special features at the end. Definitely the work of a less mature creator than the guy who did [b:American Born Chinese|118944|American Born Chinese|Gene Luen Yang|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171765431s/118944.jpg|114515]. But that makes sense.
