    One of the most original and compelling graphic memoirs of the past ten years. Captivating blend of comic and dramatic storyline.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, But I Ain't Believing It. The Author Should Stop Believing It, Too.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2023
    The author steals from the Church and his mother, concocts his own exorcism rituals, does a whole lot of "unfortunate" things, and blames it on the Catholic Church. Only he does not blame it on the Catholic Church. He is above that.

    The central irony of this book is that HAD the author truly followed Catholic practices, his epilepsy could have been diagnosed early. He could have been spared his demons (literally). Consider an alternative reality where he reported his demon encounters immediately through Spiritual Reconciliation (then called Confession), or by requesting diocesan family or personal counseling, or by seeing his Catholic school counselor. Either way, a boy seeing demons would quickly get him shuttled to where his epilepsy is diagnosed and professionally treated.

    The Catholic Church, unlike many others, initially defaults to the hypothesis that demons and possessions are created out of mental illness. It requires several independent and inexplicable events witnessed by multiple objective observers to prove otherwise. Around 1975, when he was battling his demons, only about one in a thousand cases met the criteria for exorcism.

    Unless he took up levitating as a hobby, he had a 999 out of 1000 chance of getting professional medical help right away through three separate avenues offered by the Church. Instead, he chose to invent his own religious rituals and "self-exorcise," party hardy, steal, and self-medicate with alcohol.

    The author should "to his own self be true" and own up to the fact that many of his problems are purely self-created. He paid the price, but subsequently decided to blame the Church (but not blame the Church). But this is not the only area where he appears to be misleading himself. The book is filled with the trickery we play upon ourselves. The self-deceit that may come back to haunt him is his belief that his epilepsy is no longer much of a problem. Epilepsy is a physical, structural abnormality. It can be controlled, but not cured.

    The last reason for the low rating is the self-deprecating humor. Throughout the book, the author tries to be warm and self-effacing and to make fun of himself. The jokes fall flat. It is NEVER right to ridicule and minimize the struggles of mental illness, even when the target of the humiliation is yourself.
