Simple, moving, beautiful allegory with gorgeous drawings.

Fun little salmon story!

Uses the lifecycle of the salmon to explore life choice (for humans). A pair of salmon make friends and one follows the traditional path, and one chooses to skip the long hard road to spawn. Simple, nice. Well illustrated. Didn't get me excited, but definitely an interesting read.

I liked this. It is a cute and interesting short read. It sort of felt like a music video.

I was hooked in the first couple pages, when shortly after hatch, two young salmon make friends and then salmon Henry is disappointed as his new friend swims off to meet other people.

On the surface, yes, this book is exactly as it appears: a story about salmon having doubts. But it's also about life, about existence and existentialism. The two main characters, Geoff and Henry, swim through the ocean and try to decide if procreation is all one should aspire to, or if there's something else to live for. It's a short, sweet, poignant tale that raises big questions without the need to pass judgment.

Plus, the art is beautiful and I'm going to love having this piece on my coffee table. I anticipate some interesting discussions in the future.

It was a great way to show themes and tensions in adolescence. I would highly recommend for teenagers to read this, it would be a great way to open a discussion. The pictures were clean and simple, and the coloring helped to show different areas of their world.

The title of this sparsely drawn graphic novels says it all. One salmon feels like he is the odd man out, while another salmon ponders if there is more to life than swimming upstream.

Loved it

Pretty, but fairly useless.

Nothing profound. Worth a read.

Funny and silly.

Quite interesting settings, sharp style, modern thinking, but it doesn't push to something very meaningful and astonishing like Blankets. Anyway - a very decent book with some good ideas.
