This graphic novel had wonderful illustrations, and lots of different story lines rolled into one..
Unfortunately it was hard to jump between time lines, the lines were sometimes blurred and the reader had to go back and try to discern what was happening and when.

The author tells his fathers story of survival during WWII via flashbacks and current events. His fathers family managed to come to the United States and Cuba, avoiding the concentration camps. His father however was left with a cousin and together they need to find a way to come and join his parents. At the same time the author is a telling his own story. He is working on the latest video game and uproots himself and his children to Paris to work on the game.

This was very long, very rambling, very jumpy, and very disorganized. I can’t imagine it was easy to try to combine three men’s stories into one, and occasionally they do overlap in very pleasing ways, but overall I just found this strangely self-gratifying. it almost felt like he wanted to toot his own horn a little bit, which I guess is expected in a memoir. Maybe it’s because he just seems like an unappealing person. I found myself looking for the opportunities to read more about his father and grandfather.

A phenomenal memoir graphic novel. It was a little time line jumpy and hard to track for my taste. But the stories within it were amazing and something the world needs in it. A great resource for kids who love WW2, any history, graphic novels, or memoirs.
