I love this graphic novel series. The university adventures of Susan, Daisy, Esther, Ed and McGraw continue. I keep trying to identify which girl is most like my own college-age daughter, but I think she possesses elements of each of them. In these chapters I felt Daisy might be the closest match-- nerdy, socially awkward but enthusiastic, and, as it is revealed, a girl guide leader with an affinity for the outdoors. These young people are finding their way to adulthood and dealing with many pratfalls along the way, and I'm happy to be along for the ride. ( )

Susan went off the deep end, there's great cause for concern about Esther (the "beautiful idiotic wraith" as one character called her), and Daisy's running on the moors finding "hatches" (I'm still puzzling out that one), but reading this comic was as enjoyable as ever. Silly lines like "I know that sorry is an overused word, so...splorry," just make my heart sing.
If you haven't tried out Giant Days yet, pick up volume 1 and get going! ( )

graphic fiction, series (read them in order)

The paper where Ed works is shut down after they publish some of his investigative journalism and then he has an embarrassing episode in the bedroom with one of the other writers; Esther's wild, bar-hopping friend comes to visit; Susan loses sleep over the upcoming student elections and must be rescued; McGraw breaks up with her; Daisy takes the girls camping and releases her homing pigeon; Esther decides to quit university.

More like a 3.5 ( )

Love this series and going on adventures with these girls. ( )
