Read this in 1 sitting! Found it in a coffee shop, sat down with a tea and read until it was finished :) loved it, wish I had volume 2

I don't think they will ever get a graphic novel based off a book right. I have read Alex rider graphics and they look like their characters but the storyline is completely different. Then you have this book. The storyline is exactly the same as the book but the characters do not look right. It is like they cannot get both of them right. It is either one or other.

I've read Anthony Horowitz's version of this book before so I was familiar with the story but the illustrations really brought it alive. Very enjoyable fantasy. Would love to read the others in the series.

My god, that was one creepy old lady!
Even though the story feel somewhat generic or typical at times, (especially when it comes to these middle grade books) I was entertained nonetheless. I have to take into account the target audience that would be more easily entertained by this after-all. It was chilling, intriguing and creepy. The storyline was great and I loved the artwork. It really played out like a movie in my head. I don't usually go for graphic novels, particularly ones that have been adapted from novels, but don't get discouraged: I was so glad I picked this little gem up.
