Dark and Genuine

This graphic novel is a good, albeit dark, read. The main character, Omar, goes through a lot of difficulties--and is completely human through all of them. He is not a strong person; he is definitely human and weak, and he struggles with the "right" thing to do and what he wants to do. The book varies between traditional dialogue bubbles and letters and journals, and these differences make this an interesting book to read.
