Product Description

Product Description
Raleigh doesn't have a soul. A cat stole it - or at least that's what she tells people - or at least that's what she would tell people if she told people anything. But that would mean talking to people, and the mere thought of social interaction is terrifying. How did such a shy teenage girl end up in a car with three of her hooligan classmates on a cross-country road trip? Being forced to interact with kids her own age is a new and alarming proposition for Raleigh, but maybe it's just what she needs - or maybe it can help her find what she needs - or maybe it can help her to realize that what she needs has been with her all along.

4.0 out of 5 stars Touching and full of the moods of adolescence., 30 April 2007
By Mr. James D. G. Miles "Jim Miles" (Cambridge, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lost At Sea (Paperback)
Lost at Sea is about a girl called Raleigh who embarks upon a cross country road trip with some friends she doesn't really know. She also believes that a cat stole her soul, she has strange dreams, and she gets up at funny times of the night and sees cats.

Malley has a great eye for social politics and situations and he captures the insecurity of adolescence very well. This is the kind of book that you read all the way through feeling like an invisible intruder in the personal environment of people somewhere between friends and strangers. I enjoyed it a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful little book, 20 Sep 2006
This review is from: Lost At Sea (Paperback)
Bryan Lee O'Malley has created a little gem with this book. The illustrations, as well as the characterisations and the dreamy drip-feeding of plot are deceptively simple, yet seep their way under the reader's skin and linger for days. There are few surprises, but, I suspect, this is the point: Through Raliegh and Steph, we are reminded of all the little (and sometimes whopping) insecurities of teenage life, teetering on the edge of an adulthood that is being sprinted towards, yet with more than a passing regret. As artful as The Catcher in the Rye, and with a final scene as affecting as Coupland's Christmas Candle episode, or the finale to Generation X. O'Malley's tale is witty, dryly observed, and perfectly pitched. An absolute must to anyone with a passing interest in character-based graphic novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars lost in this book, 28 Oct 2007
This review is from: Lost At Sea (Paperback)
Lost at sea is Brian Lee O'malleys touching graphic novel about raliegh. A girl who ,according to her, has no soul. Somehow she has found herself in a car travelling across america with 3 people from her school who she hardly knows and the story of there trip of discovery which unfolds.

This could easily be dismissed for its simplstic art style, but i dont think this book would be the same if it was drawn in a more realistic way, the art is part of the books charm and its got all the charm of a teenagers doodlings done in a text book in class.
The plot is unusual and not to concise and has somethign of a dues ex machina ending but i heartily recommend this book fro anyone whos ever been a teenager. its a joy to read and to re-read and if you read this its the kind of book that will stick with you for a long ,long time.
