Unshelved Week: Box Office Poison
October 25th, 2007 by Laura Moncur in Literature
If you like graphic novels, there’s Box Office Poison by Alex Robinson:
Amazon’s description of the plot is a little vague:
This epic story of Sherman, Dorothy, Ed, Stephen, Jane, and Mr. Flavor is not to be missed. Alex Robinson’s completely natural and inspiring knack for dialogue has made his story of dreary jobs, comic books, love, sex, messy apartments, girlfriends (and the lack thereof), undisclosed pasts, and crusty old professionals one of the most delightful and whimsical graphic novels to hit the stands in years.
Fortunately, Unshelved comes to the rescue and makes the book sound like a must read:
Everyone has a secret, but not everyone has a happy ending.
