I was super excited hearing that Bill Waterson — yes Bill Waterson of Calvin & Hobbes fame— had a new graphic novel out. Later, I was told that it wasn't that good, so I tamped down my excitement and my expectations. I found it at the library so it didn't cost me anything.

Had I not adjusted my expectations I'd probably be in the two star camp.

I don't love the art style and the story is kinda vague that you can make it what you want.
I scored it a four because I liked the theme, possible message(s), and what I perceived as tongue in cheek humor. It didn't take itself too seriously.
