This review is from: Dear New Girl or Whatever Your Name Is (Paperback)
This collection of artwork was inspired by a series of notes editor Trinie Dalton confiscated during her years as an LA-area substitute teacher. The 1-page pieces are manic and full of feeling; in them, bad grammar and sketchy sentiments become articulate, even eloquent. Flipping through this book is like taking a journey through the dark heart of modern American adolescence. It's sad, funny, and not a little scary.

This review is from: Dear New Girl or Whatever Your Name Is (Paperback)
I was so excited about this book, and it delivered what it claimed. The art in this book is full of such a range of emotions it will take you back to high school and slap you with all of those feelings you thought you'd forgotten.
My only complaint? I would have liked to seen more of the original notes. I'm not sure if it's a privacy violation to print them, or if the author simply decided to leave a majority of them out for her own reasons, but I feel that they would have been more powerful on their own. |
