Reviewing "Something Terrible" by Dean Trippe

I finished this short graphic novel - not really a novel, but that seems to be word for a story told through sequential art. The graphic, image-centered format of this work makes this difficult and essential topic more approachable than any plain text book. Some things are just better conveyed through pictures that go directly to the heart without being filtered through words. This is not a book for children, or at least not for children without the close support of a caregiver. Its most powerful message is that the cycle can be broken; you do not have to live in fear of passing on the abuse you survived. Highly recommended.
