ytripper A Story of Life
Daytripper follows the life of Brás de Olivia Domingos, the son of famous Brazilian author. He is living in his father’s shadow, he dreams of becoming a famous author. Bras writes obituaries as a job. Each chapter is a moment in Bras’s life, early life to old age. However, each chapter ends with Bras’s death. I was disappointed when Bras dies in the last chapter. Moon and Ba could have answered why he dies and why would he suicide in the last chapter when he was told that he has more time to live. Daytripper is not worth reading because it has confusing flashbacks, sudden deaths are never clarified although the artwork is extraordinary, use of color to suggest moods.
Daytripper has many confusing flashbacks. Each chapter

    I'm still not quite sure what to think about the ending. Never once while reading did I anticipate or expect a bad/sad ending like what we got. I always thought that once they finally got to Australia everything was gonna be great. I thought that finally Jamal and Bibi could pursue their football careers and they would be welcomed to Australia with love and care. Obviously this isn't super realistic and taking the realistic approach the book had throughout I should have expected a similar ending to what we got.…
