Book Overview
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER David Smith is giving his life for his art--literally. Thanks to a deal with Death, the young sculptor gets his childhood wish: to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands. But now that he only has 200 days to live, deciding what to create is harder than he thought, and discovering the love of his life at the 11th hour isn't making it any easier This is a story of desire taken to the edge of reason and beyond; of the frantic, clumsy dance steps of young love; and a gorgeous, street-level portrait of the world's greatest city. It's about the small, warm, human moments of everyday life...and the great surging forces that lie just under the surface. Scott McCloud wrote the book on how comics work; now he vaults into great fiction with a breathtaking, funny, and unforgettable new work.

This novel is extraordinary. The art is gorgeous and serves the story perfectly. It is definitely not just background. When he flexes his artistic muscles McCloud really shows you what this medium can do. The pacing is excellent and it deserves multiple rereads. I'm pretty sure I missed things, especially because the rhythm of the book really keeps you moving through it. It is a very thick book and I read it in one sitting in one afternoon.

Scott McCloud at his best, dealing with the age old question - what makes life worth living, art worth making, love worth choosing? A wonderful read.
