David is an unmotivated artist who is down in the dumps and out
of money. When he makes a Faustian deal with a man who looks like his long dead
uncle, David is given the ability to create by magic. Yet his difficulties
continue, and despite how pathetic he is, a girl falls in love with him. As his
time on earth rolls to a close, David finds a creative outlet worth his talents
and his life takes a profound and tragic turn.
I honestly hated reading about this limp pathetic man. It
reminds me of every unmotivated, pathetic, blame the world boyfriend I had as a
young adult. Maybe todays youth would relate, but it’s a long long book to read
and I think that even a relatable young man may be sick of looking in the mirror
by that time. I didn’t enjoy the illustrations and found them gray, grim and
dull.

My 21-year-old daughter checked this out and enjoyed it, but she has a weird love of Japanese Manga. I flipped through it and felt more like you did.
