However, it also showcases the beauty and comfort that faith can bring, as Craig finds solace in the idea of a higher power during his darkest moments. While simple and very 'comming of age', this story is yet delivered sublime and with such a style that i can only describe as masterfuly intimate. Craig details the memories and trauma from his childhood and adolescence that shaped who he became, making the novel a powerful testament to the impact of past experiences on our present and future selves. The style of illustration has a way of capturing emotions that feels very intimate and alive, while the motion and flow of panels gives life and age to the protagonist in a unique way.

I'm disappointed about it, I replaced it and hopefully the new one I'll receive won't be the same. One of the coolest things about Blankets is that Thompson creates a story that's both heartwarming and heart-wrenching. I liked it very much, the drawing and paper of the edition are of quality. The novel highlights the harm that can come from blindly following dogma and the damaging effects of religious intolerance.
