Review
"[A] beautiful and substantial travelogue...[that] paints a compelling portrait of the artist as a successful, if lonely, young man. And [like Blankets] it too is one of the books of the year." Sean Collins, Comic Book Galaxy
Review
"[W]hile Carnet De Voyage is a very different book from Blankets, I still think it's brilliant. It is an honest and engaging journal....[D]espite the disclaimer at the front of the book, this is the next big book from Craig Thompson. (Grade: 10/10)" Randy Lander, The Fourth Rail
Review
"[A] quirky narrative that not only follows Thompson to various foreign places, but also delves deep into his psyche....[I]t resonates with the same honesty that made Blankets so compelling." David Walker, The Willamette Week (Portland, OR)
