As powerful as the original, if not more so, with the illustrations.

I haven’t read the book, but the graphic novel version was powerful and some of the images were incredibly haunting. The resources in the back were helpful, and I hope that stories like this will become outdated soon. I docked half a star because the timeline was a little disjointed and clunky, and there are ways the illustrator could have more clearly delineated time passing.
