I listened to the audiobook prior and wanted to check out the graphic novel adaptation.  I will say that I preferred the audiobook because I felt that it had better descriptions and captured emotions better than the illustrations in this book.  It's still a moving and compelling story, but if choosing to read this story for the first time, I would go for the original or an audio version.

Loved the artwork. It's been a while since I've read Parable of the Sower so can't say how true to the original this was.

(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.
