Product Description
Product Description
Raleigh doesn't have a soul. A cat stole it - or at least that's what she tells people - or at least that's what she would tell people if she told people anything. But that would mean talking to people, and the mere thought of social interaction is terrifying. How did such a shy teenage girl end up in a car with three of her hooligan classmates on a cross-country road trip? Being forced to interact with kids her own age is a new and alarming proposition for Raleigh, but maybe it's just what she needs - or maybe it can help her find what she needs - or maybe it can help her to realize that what she needs has been with her all along.

Great read,
This review is from: Lost At Sea (Paperback)
This is a great graphic novel that talks to the cynical teenagers of the world.Lots of questioning the universe and all of it's inner workings. It's totally gnarly.
3.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Lost At Sea (Paperback)
the graphic novel was kinda cute but also didnt really go anywhere.... i was expecting something deeper to come out in the end but its pretty much just about a breakup. its worth the read but its not life changing (or as good as Blankets )

Everything beautiful is far away,
By Tim Phillips (Henley, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lost at Sea (Paperback)
What really impressed me about Lost at Sea was the effortless way in which Mal blends the angst of his narrator, Raleigh, with the sardonic humour of her companions. The book is by turns hilarious, sinister, melancholy and surreal. There is a wisdom in Raleigh's comments -especially at the end- which transcends the bland self-pity that so many other introspective characters fob off as insight.Raleigh's friends provide the perfect balance to her introspection, their meaningless arguments and amiable bickering is a constant backdrop, an intensely entertaining soundtrack to Raleigh's car journey of self-discovery. The art is perfect: strangely realistic despite its cartoony style, and unexpected details such as the health warning on the cigarette packet had me laughing out loud. Mal has produced a compelling story, and its imagery and characters are subtle and charming enough to stick with you a long time after their crummy old car has puttered away into the night. Highly recommended.
