Let me just say I usually can't stand graphic novels and I'm giving this one a 2 1/2 star and was pleasantly surprised. That's a very high grade for me for a graphic novel. I got it in a "blind-date" book at the library. I unwrapped the package and almost refused to read it because it was a graphic novel. So, I went into it with very low-expectations and thought it was OK. It only take 45 minutes to read it and the main character is salty and fun.

Graphic novel adaptation of the Head Games novel . This atmospheric noir thriller attempts the a style reminiscent of the golden age of dime-store paperbacks. While somewhat compelling I really struggled to enjoy this graphic novel.

This one was just not for me. Also it seems to be based on a historical thriller series? idk. But I feel like I did hop into the middle of a story that had already been going, so I was super confused and had zero interest in what was happening. tbh the only reason I even gave it a try was because it's a graphic novel and wouldn't take me long to read.

This graphic novel was like watching an old black and white noir film. It was fun, if a bit hard to follow at times. The quick moving dialogue and panels made it a quick read full of more action than mystery. The book mentions some Ivy League secret societies that I feel I should know more about, but I don't, and that lack of background knowledge might have messed with some of my understanding and enjoyment of the more nuanced sections of the plot. Overall I liked the book, but it has a few too many risqué scenes for me to feel comfortable putting on my classroom library shelf.
