Blue Is the Warmest Color

Incredible story, very human and sensible. It also shows how kids, who have a sexual orientation thats not heterosexual, feel about being discriminated by friends and family in a very realistic way that you can relate to.

Blue is the warmest color is a beautiful coming out story. Truly identifying love at first sight and the pressure gay youth face in admitting who they are. Loved it and anybody who accepts love for what it is will love it to.

I bought this after I watched the film. Jeez this was a depressing story!! Anyway I still think it was a pretty good story, but if you are going to buy this book make sure you buy the actual paper copy. Good story.

The illustrations were spot on, compelling, and are the reason that I gave the graphic novel three stars. I would have given Blue Is the Warmest Color five stars, but the plot was more like a non-plot (a very cliched lesbian love trope). The characters are not fully developed by the end, and the novel is too short to support and real narrative. I had heard great things about this famed graphic novel, and was hoping that Maroh would have taken this underwhelming LGBT plot line further.
Despite the lack of an interesting plot arc, I enjoyed reading Blue as the hard copy has a loose and flexible spine and the pages are large.
Really, the images really steal the show here and because of that, I would recommend maybe borrowing the book from a friend or library if possible.

This is a beautiful perspective that everyone would benefit from reading, but especially if you're gay. It's a story I would have loved to have written myself, only I didn't know how, until I found this graphic novel. This touched on so many feelings I've had in my own life, and I'm really stoked that I found this graphic novel to help me put my story into some sort of framework. As opposed to being confused by heteronormative, mainstream perspectives that could never touch up on the bullying, marginalizing that gays experience. As well as exposing the beauty in our love! "The only way to save the world is with love." .... This is a phenomenal story about love. And the love between androgynous queer women. I hope this becomes a mandatory reading in schools all over. The erotic nature of this graphic novel gives the story more of a real life perspective.... sex is very much so apart of the relationship just as much as the conversation.... physical attraction and how you are sexually... the liberating factor that comes along with letting yourself fall in love... letting yourself feel safe in someone else's arms.... is of course captured in the story... I am thrilled that someone has written and captured those moments in such an elegant and passionate way. I can tell that the author and illustrated has found love and is letting everyone else know what it looks like.
