It's a very brief book that could easily be read in one sitting of approximately 20 minutes. We see the main character Marshall on only one night of his life, although he gives us some back story and dreams about the future. That night is one in which he's been set up on a blind date by one of his married friends. We see both the actual events and what he is thinking, including a variety of 'I'm not good enough for this person' type thoughts interspersed with 'I hope that's not the type of person my friends think is for me' while he waits for his date to arrive and then a bunch of imaginings about this woman's past life and their future together after he meets Natalie. Throughout this are a number of identifiable moments and a great deal of laughs (sometimes the humor is there precisely because his thoughts are so spot-on identifiable!). The illustrations are in the "comic strip" kind of style of graphic novel (think, Chris Ware's illustrations) -- they are colorful with bold lines and live in that space somewhere between the cartoonish and realistically rendered. The book itself is an unusual size, allowing for the illustrations to flow in a landscape orientation with several panels going across each page. The book concludes with the wrapping up of the date, so the future is hinted at but vague at best. If you're the type of person that likes neatly tied up endings, this book won't be for you. But otherwise, I'd recommend this book for a quick, funny, and ultimately touching read. (  ) sweetiegherkin | Jun 25, 2016 | ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
"Meet Marshall. Sitting alone in the local coffee place. He's been set up by his friend Tim on a blind date with someone named Natalie, and now he's just feeling set up. She's nine minutes late and counting. Who was he kidding anyway? Divorced, middle-aged, newly unemployed, with next to no prospects, Marshall isn't exactly what you'd call a catch... Then, after nearly an hour, when he's long since given up hope, Natalie appears--breathless, apologizing profusely that she went to the wrong place. She takes a seat, to Marshall's utter amazement. She's too good to be true: attractive, young, intelligent, and she seems to be seriously engaged with what Marshall has to say. There has to be a catch. And, of course, there is. During the extremely long night that follows, Marshall and Natalie are emotionally tested in ways that two people who just met really should not be. Not, at least, if they want the prospect of a second date."--Publisher. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
