Helpful Score: 2

French Milk came highly recommended to me but I knew it was a graphic novel and I opted to wait for a swap copy (I feel so gypped when I buy books that are essentially comics). I was really disappointed. It's about the author's 5-week trip to Paris with her mother and it's pretty much a litany of where they went, what they ate and bought and the various frustrations of the author (including the fact that she missed sex -- add that to a lot of comics of nude artwork and I would disagree strongly with the reviewer who says it's for kids). I liked the photographs of the author, her mother and Paris more than anything, but they are mostly subpar as photographs go. I respect people who enjoy the book because it does give you a decent sense of place but it simply wasn't for me.
