This was my first graphic novel and I found the experience very compelling - this from a skeptic. I am so in love with the written word and it has been decades and decades and decades (I'll stop now) since I read a comic book - and of course this is nothing like a comic book. It is hard to explain. There is just an added element which adds another dimension to the whole experience of the story. Partly it is ironic I suppose because I associate graphic images in a cartoon-strip format with light entertainment - and this is about a dysfunctional family. Highly recommended.
