I like the way this was done, especially regarding color. Really distopian- obviously, and some points hit very close to home but it was a really well done adaptation

Graphic Novel molto fedele al romanzo da cui è tratta.
Ho apprezzato l'uso del colore, coerente con il percorso di Jonas.

Beautiful graphic novel of The Giver. I loved to step back into the story in the media, it gives the original story a fresh look. The way the illustrator goes from gray to color is wonderful, really giving the reader a sense of what that community and Jonas is feeling.
I love this new genre I’ve discovered (with my sister), of graphic novels and old books made new!

I still think it is hilarious that I love the movie, like the graphic novel, and don't like the book. I tried, a couple of times, but it never worked out. This graphic novel was interesting to read, especially when I compare it to the movie. It seems they made quite some changes from book > movie. In this one our MC is 11 going to 12, the ending was a bit eh as I still have no clue if they survived or not (I guess it is up to the reader, so I say yes), and some others, but I had a lot of fun reading it and seeing Jonas discover that not everything was as it was in the community. Seeing what it meant when someone went away. Finding out that they did something about colours. The Giver was also different, and I have to say I can imagine why he is the way he is. All those memories, gosh, I don't want to think. The happy ones are OK, but the wars, the pain, the hurt. No..
I would like to know more about the world, how it all grew to be communities and if there are free people somewhere.
The art was pretty good.

In reference to The Giver, I would suggest reading the graphic novel adaptation. However, it is advisable to have prior knowledge of the book before reading the graphic novel. While it can be read as a stand-alone piece, the experience and takeaways differ between the book and the graphic novel.
