Review: When I Was a Kid 2: Childhood Stories by Boey

4 stars for When I Was a Kid 2: Childhood Stories by Boey.

I feel on top of the world now. I did it! This graphic novel has just made it into my 2018 list of books reviewed.

This book is not your usual kind of book book. It is made up of simple stick figures accompanied by a small amount of writing that tell a story, or rather many short stories. Basically, it reads like a continuing story in comic-strip form.

I have an enjoyable time reading Boey's childhood stories. Funny, honest and touching in its own right, author Boey reminds us what it means to be a kid.

Best of all, each story is self-contained and can be read in any order. It comes especially handy when I want to read something but am sufficiently distracted enough to concentrate on reading a full-fledged novel.

These are the stories of my childhood. Of surviving school, sibiling and parents. It is about the things I did, and problems a kid had to find answers for, in a time before the internet. This book is honest, and it will probably hurt my relationship with my mom when she reads it.
But what the hell.
