Comments: I didn't even realize that it was based of Raina Telgemeier's life, until about a month after I actually read the book! It all made sense when I realized that! I thought the book was also interesting in the fact that it took us through many years of Raina's life, not just a few years, or even a few weeks or months like some books. Also, the book is in a comic strip/cartoonish form, which I found very interesting.
