Blankets: an illustrated novel

Blankets: an illustrated novel by Craig Thompson 582 pgs.

Craig is in that awkward time in adolescence when you are changing fast and having many doubts about yourself.  I think so many of us feel like we don't fit in, especially around those late teen years.  Craig is thinking about a life as a minister and wants to dedicate his life to the lord but as time goes on, he starts to doubt his faith and other long held beliefs.

This graphic novel is beautifully drawn and takes us through flashbacks to Craig's childhood up to his first love and then quickly recounts the years right after he graduates from high school.  By then he is having doubts, he leaves home and ends up not going in to the ministry but starts a career drawing and writing.
