"I am quite impressed with how well author Shaun Tan was able to tell this story using illustrations alone. I expected to have to decipher the tale on some pages, but I didn't; although I am sure that the more you linger on a page, the more there is to discover. <br/>"

"One of the most beautiful graphic novels that I have read in the recent times. Illustrations are surreal at the same time has a quality of a real photograph. Simply mesmerising and gorgeous. It struck a chord with me, as I could completely empathise with the protagonist. More details about the plot will definitely be a spoiler. A very short read in terms of plot but very very long read if you sumptuously pore through all the beautifully drawn panels. I highly recommend this."
