This might be a graphic novel thing, I'm not very familiar with them, but it's missing way too many details...I haven't read the book, although I do want to, but it feels likeI've raced through a story that isn't supposed to be raced through...I've thought about giving it 3 stars for the beautiful illustrations, but it really irks me that the story doesn't seem complete enough to know what it's actually about. A shame.

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

As a fan of the original novel and of the tv series, I was thrilled to find out about the graphic novel. The illustrations are exquisite and this particular adaptation manages to convey many nuances of the story with undeniable force.

I spent most of the book wondering what the heck was going on but the artwork in this is worth the read

Things I learned while reading this:

1) this story seems to be more and more realistic than what we'd like to believe.

2) it is not "boring" as I once thought it was.

3) I love the art work. It adds to the story and depicts this novel very well.

4) I LOATHE this ending. I'm glad I have "The Testaments" on my Kobo so that I may read it and maybe have a better appreciation for the ending of this novel.
