The complete collection of touching, hilarious, and all-too-familiar graphic stories featuring the early adventures - and misadventures - of the titular, charming Parisian novelist. Follow Monsieur Jean through his meandering life, from fêted bachelor author through to the responsibilities of fatherhood, as he deals with a wide range of relationships and exasperating friendships in this touching slice-of-life comedy drama.
“Monsieur Jean: From Bachelor to Father” is a big book but that's the joy of it. You're getting your money's worth with a story that takes it's time and delivers excellent character development and comedy. Jean is a character you'll immediately like despite his flaws and his journey will take you back to certain moments in your life no matter how old you are. This is an excellent book that would also make a nice holiday gift. Read Full Review
Who is this book for? Well, theoretically its for anyone whos ever been unsure about what comes next, but the question should really be, When is this book for? It would be inadvisable to be plowing through a pile of, say, Iron Man orTeen Titans comics and then pick up Monsieur Jean and expect your brain be in the right state to recognize the honesty at work. It would be equally misguided to hand this book to a fourteen year old not yet at the point in their lives when theyve done enough to regret or lived enough to feel trapped by their future. This book is being released at just the right time of year too, late fall/early winter, a time of transition when being able to curl up inside under a blanket and escape the harsh changing temperatures outside is most desirable and creates a sense of ease and acceptance.
