The End of the Fucking World
The End of the Fucking World | Charles Forsman
11 posts | 13 read | 22 to read
Fantagraphics is proud to publish this edition of TeotFW in conjunction with the 2017 television drama on UKs Channel 4 (with distribution via Netflix in the U.S.). Originally released to critical and public acclaim in 2013, Charles Forsmans graphic novel debut follows James and Alyssa, two teenagers living a seemingly typical teen experience as they face the fear of coming adulthood. Forsman tells their story through each characters perspective, jumping between points of view with each chapter. But quickly, this somewhat familiar teenage experience takes a more nihilistic turn as Jamess character exhibits a rapidly forming sociopathy that threatens both of their futures. He harbors violent fantasies and begins to act on them, while Alyssa remains as willfully ignorant for as long as she can, blinded by young love.

Enjoy!

Catherine_Willoughby I gave it a so-so , try not label books with "Pan" - I personally had expected so much more due to the TV series - I recommend the TV series along with "I am not okay with this" (S1) and (unrelated to same author) "Sex Education" (S1/S2) on Netflix - all 3 shows have a vibe that they are not set in any particular time (fashion/cars/house decor). 4y

I don‘t read a ton of graphic novels, but I do enjoy them. In fact, Watchmen is in my top ten books of all time. I mostly read graphic novels by checking them out on #Libby or #Hoopla, though I have a few print copies (including Saga Vol. 1) that are on my physical #TBR shelf. The above spread shows all of my current TBR on Hoopla. I loved the Netflix adaptation of the tagged book.

I was really excited to read this graphic novel but was thoroughly disappointed. I found the illustrations lame and the story too rushed. Finished reading it in 15 minutes and I could not connect to any character. Hopefully the show is better!

So, has anyone read this graphic novel yet? I‘ve been binge watching the Netflix series all day (so weird but so good!) and would like to know what people think of the source material. :)

Samary Holy cow! I had no idea it was a graphic novel! I loved the show! 6y
laundry_piles I'm not sure how I feel about the Netflix series 😂 so strange yet I can't stop watching 6y
That-Bookish-Hiker What?! I didn‘t know this was a graphic novel. I feel the same way about the show @laundry_piles 6y

Since all I've done the last two months is watch this Netflix series on a continuous loop, I thought it was about time I delve into the source material. And as a bonus, I think it'll pair nicely with a glass of Johnny Smoking Gun. #booksandbooze #teotfw #currentlyreading

starlight97 @bookloo thanks, I'll definitely check it out! 6y
MinDea We just binged the show. Not sure how I feel about it. Came to check to see if there was a different opinion on the gn. Guess I wasn't the only one. Weird that it has NO reviews but yours! @GrilledCheeseSamurai @Natasha.C.Barnes @MiyakoBunny @TricksyTails @Clwojick anyone read this??? 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @MinDea Nope! I only just heard about the show, didn't even know about the book, but now that I know I'm not surprised...I haven't seen the show, but it just makes sense that it had a book, somehow. 6y
TricksyTails @MinDea Never heard of it. 🤷‍♀️ Curious about the show now, though. 6y
MiyakoBunny @MinDea I saw the show on Netflix I haven‘t gotten around to it yet but didn‘t know that it was in any other format 😃 6y

My daughter just recommended a Netflix series based on this graphic novel. She's captivated by it. So, of course, I come to Litsy to see what fellow Littens think about it and find that no one has posted about it yet. So I'm adding it to my #TBR for 2018 and making it a priority. I'll let you know what I think.

Andrea4 Well I'm in the midst of the show and it is humourous and interesting so far :) 6y
Nikki15 Might give the show a go now! 6y
merelybookish My husband and I are currently watching this show. He likes it. I'm less enchanted. 6y
