This is a fine representation of what the art of the graphic novelist is all about. I was especially fond of Mr. Quitely's use of fragmented panels to showcase events that occur in an extremely short span of time in more detail. One of the characters in the book remarks that the animals experience time and motion differently than people do; this "fractal" panel strategy really helps to illustrate this concept. All around, a brilliant and poignant work that has me nervous regarding the film translation. I only hope they can do it justice. I just finished reading this work and was absolutely awestruck.
