Narrative Supposing Books Chopsticks

After her mother died, Glory retreated into herself and her music. Her single father raised her as a piano prodigy, with a rigid schedule and the goal of playing sold-out shows across the globe. Now, as a teenager, Glory has disappeared. As we flash back to the events leading up to her disappearance, we see a girl on the precipice of disaster. Brilliant and lonely, Glory is drawn to an artistic new boy, Frank, who moves in next door. The farther she falls, the deeper she spirals into madness. Before long, Glory is unable to play anything but the song "Chopsticks." But nothing is what it seems, and Glory's reality is not reality at all. In this stunningly moving novel told in photographs, pictures, and words, it's up to the reader to decide what is real, what is imagined, and what has been madness all along....

4.5 A beautiful story told completely through pictures. Extremely interesting and engrossing! I even teared up a little bit at the end! Highly recommend.

This high concept, super hipster, young adult graphic novel left me a bit cold. Though its clear it would like to take you on a deep, thought provoking journey into the mind of a troubled teenager I never really skimmed any further than the surface in this mixed bag of obvious imagery and cliched "gotcha" moments. Glory and Frank are your typical Romeo and Juliet teenagers. She's a virtuoso piano player being raised by a hard as nails dad who's terrified of losing her following her mother's

I wanted to like this book so very, very much. The trouble is that the graphic novel format - particularly the book's use of "found" photographs - doesn't support the world the authors seem to try to create. The way I see it, there are three basic interpretations of the book's "twist" ending (the part where "you decide what was madness all along"). 1)(view spoiler)[ Frank exists, and Glory ran away to be with him (view spoiler)[ 2) (view spoiler)[ Frank does not exist, he is a figment of Glory's

Whoa. I don't even know what happened in this unique scrapbook of a mystery. It reminded me a little bit of Black and White, a little bit of Griffin & Sabine: An Extraordinary Correspondence, and a little bit of the movie Black Swan (not in the scary sense, just in the sense of "what the HECK is going on?"). Intriguing and unusual. Has anyone tried the app???"Reading Chopsticks is like watching people kiss in the street: it's private, it's beautiful, it's lonely, it's wild, it's secret, it's

Provides a lot of beauty and compelling mind-fuckery for such a quick read. Really inventive, really cool.

This novel's story is told entirely through photographs, which hold the promise of secrets that will unlock the story at second glance. They demand to be returned to: scoured and compared and reveled in as you follow the story and then retrace your steps when the mysterious ending is revealed.At the start, you learn that piano prodigy Gloria "Glory" Fleming has gone missing. Then, you are taken back to the beginning and shown in detail the 18 months prior to her disappearance. Chopsticks is the

This book was told in such a fantastic way, I don't even know how to describe it. It was beautiful and emotional, and I loved every minute I spent reading it.
