Product Description
At 592 pages, Blankets may well be the single largest graphic novel ever published without being serialized first. Wrapped in the landscape of a blustery Wisconsin winter, Blankets explores the sibling rivalry of two brothers growing up in the isolated country, and the budding romance of two coming-of-age lovers. A tale of security and discovery, of playfulness and tragedy, of a fall from grace and the origins of faith. A profound and utterly beautiful work from Craig Thompson.

 I love this book December 20, 2008
E. Bostrom (Farmingdale, NY USA)
I saw this novel on my friends shelf when I was at his house one day. I picked it up and starting reading a few pages..and I was hooked instantly. The characters are so authentic. I bought a copy the next day and read it cover to cover.
I'd recommend this to anyone, even if you have never read a graphic novel.

This is probably the best graphic novel I've read over the past 2 years. I bought 2 copies so I can offer it to my family.
 Great read to share. September 30, 2008

Bought it for my girlfriend one Christmas and we loved reading it together. Bittersweet, but beautiful.
A coming of age story sure to tug on your heartstrings. September 9, 2008
R. Walker
In Blankets, Craig Thompson presents a personal story that many people who grew up as "outcasts" in the rural heartland of America will find hard not to relate with. With art that is both simplistic and beautiful, the story of a young Craig coming to terms with his place in life, his first love, and his problems with religion as he ages is a tale sure to tug on your heartstrings. Anyone who has ever been in love will find something here that is tragically beautiful: young love, with all it's passion and angst.
