"Kierkegaard’s ironies have driven me crazy for many years, but I crave them anyway. Every time I read it, this novel as philosophy or philosophy as novel never stops producing new meanings."

This is the first time that I have read this novel.

I found that this novel was very interesting and definitely different. I'm glad that my book club picked this novel. I found it very interesting.

I really could relate to the characters and I definitely understand why so many people have latched onto it.
  
This book, published in 1978, is considered the first modern graphic novel, and it certainly helped spawn the genre. Its storytelling and depth proved this genre has always had far more potential than the fare we see today.
