Editorial Reviews

Review

"A youthful-looking 40-something now living in Berlin, Ulli Lust claims to have learned ‘more on the streets than in the books’… varying the rhythm and framing of her panels, populating them with her subtly stylized characters, she provides an unvarnished vision of male-female relations in which violence, drugs and sex perform a diabolical dance. And even though there are flashes of humor, this relentless story remains focused on the frustration of men and the pain of women."
― Le Monde

"A testament not only to how boldly Lust traveled, but also how far she's come as an artist."
― PRI

"Lust takes readers inside her experiences, letting them feel how high hopes can devolve into raw survival."
― Noel Murray, The A.V. Club

"...[A] sprawling, meditative graphic novel... [that] ripples with exuberance: [Lust] convincingly evokes her teenage feelings of fury and joy, and the small details of the way she experienced unfamiliar places for the first time."
― Douglas Wolk, The New York Times

"There is a rejection of the organization of the world, from organized faith to organized crime. It is about the pursuit of nihilism as a route to integrity. Ulli Lust has the intelligence to look at her life and make a book of it."
― Eddie Campbell, (From Hell, Alec)

"Great cartooning."
― Kevin Huizenga, (Ganges, Gloriana)

"Told with great confidence and uncomfortable frankness across a sprawling 450 pages, it is a coming-of-age narrative that inevitably places itself in the tradition of German travel literature, perhaps unwittingly joining the company of such august figures as Goethe and Hesse."
― Matthias Wivel, The Metabunker

I was stalking Amazon waiting for the reprint of this as used copies started going for $50 and higher (I checked it out from the library originally). I can't express how much I love this book - I read it one sitting until 2 AM. There are few things I love more than well-written stories of women going on ill-advised misadventures.

This is one of the best comics I've read in years -- it's gorgeously drawn, perfectly paced, and heartrending. The comic expresses the emotional and psychological response to sexual assault like few other books I've read. It can be painful to read, but it's important, too.

It's a comic and it's VERY graphic, not sure it's for everyone

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

It was on NPR's list of best comics but I honestly didn't read the title, just the preview and was shocked when a very large paperback book arrived and the story was a comic! (*graphic novel). I read the entire thing in 2 sittings and still don't know what I think. It was O.K. for me, the illustrations were hard to derive the storyline, the story was kind of interesting but not really. I do appreciate the fact it was creative and like nothing else I've ever read (which is why I read it) but can't recommend it to friends unless they want something totally unique and have lots of time on their hands and are reading in their pool like I was!!!

Pretty much a perfect book

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2013

Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical The Complete Persepolis sort of became an international publishing event, and that means that there have been lots a slightly similar autobiographical graphic novels published both in the US and in Europe... so many that it's almost become a dominant modern comics genre. Many of them have not quite been as good as Persepolis. Some have been stunning artistic achievements - for example brilliant books like Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic and Epileptic, but they've also been perhaps a little bit dry compared with the compulsively readable (and often very funny) "Persepolis".

This book feels like the real thing - it's the the book people can search out if they enjoyed "Persepolis". It's got a charismatic rebellous 'punky' female main character not too far removed from Marjane in "Persepolis". It's set in the 80s, and it's got an international outlook. In some ways I think it may even be a better book than "Persepolis". "Persepolis" had flawed minimal art in the early chapters and a few self-indulgent scenes that were mostly fixed in the brilliant movie version. Ulli Lust's book, on the other hand, just feels perfect. The writing and the vivid recollections are astonishing. And the art is loose and almost sketchy, but I wouldn't change a line. It just feels so right and perfect.

It's a great book for mature readers, and probably also for some older teenagers, although conservative US parents would probably have nightmares about their little 'kids' reading the decadent European truths about life found in this book. Things get dark, this is a young girl trying to survive on her own in an often hostile country.

(Considering the title of this book, "Today Is The Last Day of The Rest Of Your Life", it was a little bit unsettling that I later found out I started reading it the day before its influental translator and publisher Kim Thompson died of cancer. This must have been one of the last books he worked on. He was one of the most brilliant people working behind the scenes in the comics world. R.I.P. Kim ... I never knew him, but he sure influenced my reading-habits)

Wonderful account of a turbulent life

Reviewed in Spain on July 31, 2014

This book is presented as an autobiographical account of a troubled life plagued by unusual choices. An alternative lifestyle to say the least, with some adventure, danger, and plain misery at times.
