What an amazing graphic novel

I got to say, I'm honored to be the first review here! I bought this book the minute I heard it was coming out, and normally I'd never buy anything like this from any other band.

This book is one of the best reads I've had in a while, and of course a lot of that comes from how much I like the band and the people behind it. But putting that aside, this book/graphic novel really has a level of detail in it that you have to admire.

The book is split into two parts, you read it from one side and then flip it over to get the other part. Each side tells you the story of either band member. It goes from their childhood all the way through their time in highschool, up to the moment they meet after college.

Although this book isn't that long, and you're really reading half a book twice, this is a work of love and it tells stories that some dedicated fans already know. But even if you know the stories overall, this telling definitely gives a much better idea of how the two came to be the people they are today. You get these stories told through the beautiful artwork of Fantoons Studio with great humor from all of the writers and editors involved. You can tell that Dan and Brian wrote this book, I'm sure the editor's main job was telling Dan that the word "Committee" wasn't spelled "Comet-tee" and that they weren't going to illustrate a shirt falling out of the sky through the atmosphere for a punchline.

But in all seriousness, if you like this band at all and you want to support them, this book is a fantastic read and it'll give you insight, humor, wit, and beautiful illustrations. Plus, you get to keep a book that has giant bolden text saying, "NINJA SEX PARTY" on your bookself. If you're not interested in doing that, I have no idea why you're reading this review.

Thanks to Dan, Brian, David, Lindsay and all the other amazing people who worked on this book -- I cannot tell you how excited I am for part two (coming soon?).

Great for NSP fans

Got this for the boyfriend so that he would stop stealing our friends book of it. As a fan of NSP myself, I would definitely recommend this. It's funny and gives you a little background here and there on 'em in a goofy way.
