Such a cute story filled with mystery and whimsy! The GN is gorgeous and I fell in love with the illustration style. It’s gritty and unique and the pops of color endear you even more to the story. Cannot wait to check out the second GN!
Actually my rating is 4.5
I've read this book in like 1 hour or less and I'm so sad I've already finished it...
Anyway I loved this books so much!! I obviously prefer the book, but it was a good refresher and throwback!
I'll soon post a longer and more detailed review!

Absolutely beautiful artwork. Love that the peculiar children parts were in color and the real world parts were in black and white. The original book was already fabulous, and the artwork just made it better. Can't wait to read the second one!
The graphics on this book are awesome! :) I've already read the book, and now I'm looking forward to the movie.
I really liked this adaption! I felt that it was very truthful to the source material and didn't cut too much out of the story. Cassandra Jean is also one of my FAVORITE illustrators in the WORLD and i loved what she did with the characters!!! I really hope they continue to release these because i really, REALLY want to see more!!!
This art is beautiful! I haven't read the novel yet, but I picked this up and couldn't stop reading.
READ THIS NOW
I read the real novel and watched the movie first, so I knew what was going to happen. I read this more out of curiosity as to how it fared as an adaption. It isn't bad, it keeps what needs to be kept in there while probably cutting some other stuff. It's been a while since I read the book so I can't exactly compare. But I don't like the art. It's pretty, and when it's in color it's not half bad, but it's kind of generic and lacks detail. It looks like sketches, but not in an appealing away, more like a lazy way. Jacob's face and hair bothered me so much in this comic I don't even have the words for it. The idea of black and white in the real world and color in the loop was interesting, kind of Wizard of Oz-esque, but the colors are flat, often not even two-tone, so it doesn't really add very much to the aesthetic over the black and white. It just seems really bare bones, like a minimal amount of effort was put in. The little side comments are also confusing too, I'm assuming they go unsaid because they aren't in speech bubbles, but they sound like things that should be spoken. It got the story across well enough, but without the emotional depth the words of the book provide.
I loved seeing and reading this book. I wanted to read it this way before the movie came out. Now onto the Hollow City graphic novel.

As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the fairytales his grandfather used to tell him may not be fairytales at all.
I love the book and I really enjoyed seeing it in graphic novel format. It was a very quick read for me and it was a great refresher of the series. I had forgotten how much I like it and it makes me want to reread it sooner rather than later. Plus, the hollows? Great illustrations.
