(i) A cartoon-style comic strip with words and pointing arrows in some panels.
(ii) Intensely autobiographical.
(iii) Riad Sattouf, like Neil Gaiman, remembers what it was like to be a child.
(iv) Riad seems to lose his artistic gift when he prefers to emulate his peers' scribbling.
(v) Amazing, eye-opening information about living conditions and life styles in Libya and Syria.
(vii) Riad's French mother seems to have put up with everything.
(viii) Very slow-paced: Riad remains a child on the concluding p. 154 and there are further volumes.
