(graphic novel, scifi) I’ve read the original, but this adaptation is a delight. The art is beautiful and brings the story even more to life.

This is my third time reading Parable of the Sower, and the first time reading it in the graphic novel version. I love John Jennings work. The colors, line work, and overall style are vibrant. The illustrations really make the story come alive.
