Review: This was a huge disappointment; the artist/editor had such an opportunity to make this as awesome as the original novel, but the failed. I’ve read comic books most of my life, but even I had trouble following the story: the main character looks like a different person from one frame to the next and the story line is so disjointed with unexplained shifts, flashbacks, and asides, that it’s nearly impossible for an experienced reader of graphic novels to follow the plot let alone a classroom full of teenagers new to the medium. A story that should grab and keep teenagers’ attention lose them within the first few frames. AND, they failed to take advantage of one of the novel’s greatest features: differentiating between flashbacks, & asides by using different fonts. This GN was a huge disappointment.
