WOW. WOW. Ik vond het boek (normale) OK (3 sterren), maar dit? Dit was gewoon weg een emotionele roller-coaster dankzij de fantastische art door Emily Carroll (even mijn favoriete illustrators). Het verhaal voelde soms erg gefragmenteerd maar toch op een manier paste het. Het verhaal werkte echt zoveel beter als graphic novel, echt zoveel meer. Het einde voelde zoveel meer compleet en waar ik bij het boek de revelation van wat er was gebeurd/de opbouw wat te lang vond werkte het hier zoveel beter omdat je al zoveel hints ziet, je ziet veel beter de emotie en de schade die is gekomen door wat er is gebeurd.
This works really well as a graphic novel. Emily Carroll deftly brings Melinda to life, and Anderson breathes new life into her work. Plus, David interpreted as a man of color really adds an interesting racial tendion between him and Mr. Neck that is uncomfortably relevant. Obviously, this is a frank look at PTSD from sexual violence, so read when you are in a good place to fo so.
Wow, this was a fantastic graphic novel, heavy but uplifting. Emily Carroll's art style is perfect. The sort of story that will be with you for days after you're done.
