GHOST WORLD (Daniel Clowes) - January 20/13

This extremely slight graphic novel is quite readable, yet its episodic structure ensures that it's rarely compelling. It basically lurches from one stand-alone segment to the next, and there are only a few that genuinely stand out (eg Enid and Rebecca fight). But then the final stretch comes along and destroys whatever little momentum there was, as it feels disjointed and almost nonsensical in parts - before finally leading to an absolutely anticlimactic non-ending. It's weird. **1/2 out of ****
