The Next Day by Paul PetersonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A graphic novella which depicts, believe it or not, suicide attempts.
The books has two sections: "The Day Of"; and "The Next Day".
It is powerful and moving: The lesson being that each of these people are grateful for having a second chance.
Each person's story is done is a different graphic style; still, at times, I had to flip back to find out who was who. Initially, it was difficult to follow a single character's storyline, since the book alternates amongst the four characters.
Graphic novels are continuing to impress me as a way to discuss difficult issues.
