It's Thompson's candor in conveying what he feels in the moment, while still acknowledging his sometimes ill-tempered interactions and prejudices, that make Carnet de Voyage so engaging. --Pop Matters While there are all too many gatekeepers seeking to erect arbitrary walls between comics and real literature (whatever that means), Craig Thompson is undoubtedly one of the few cartoonists even the stuffiest academics would consider unimpeachable. --Paste Carnet de Voyage witnesses a personal journey and a physical one, but manages to avoid clich�. Instead, Thompson's sincerity shines through and he sweetly goes on loving the world even when frozen with anxiety and sadness. In these moments, Thompson and his work are the most human and poignant. --ComicsVerse Captures to perfection and with a great sense of immediacy what it's like to be young, and on one's own on a foreign adventure. By turns lighthearted and profound, Carnet is an illuminating and charming experience. --School Library Journal
