Miss Peregrine's is one of my favorite series of all time, and it was cool to see it as a graphic novel.
I quite enjoyed this quick read, if you loved the original books as much as I did this is a great visual take on it, definitely recommend.
I felt that this was a good adaptation of the novel, but it had its flaws. I felt that it had too much text to be warranted a successful graphic novel. If you need pages of text in order to explain the story than it shouldn't be adapted in that format in the first place! Also, I was not the biggest fan of art work, it was only okay for me and the panelling was confusing at times. But overall, I did enjoy this!
I wasn't going to review this because I thought, well, I've already read and reviewed the novel version of this book and they're almost the same...but then I checked and I actually haven't rated or reviewed the novel version even though I added it to Goodreads which is pretty shameful. So I'll have to go back and do that, but for now: this is a very faithful remake of the original novel. Which I was hoping it would be, as I was reading it basically to refresh my memory of the novel so I could read the next one in the series without having to look up who all the characters are. That said, I didn't like it as much as the novel. It was too faithful, if that makes sense...I love graphic novels that were written to be graphic novels, because I find they're more likely to take full advantage of the format. This felt like a novel that someone drew pictures for, which was still great, but not as dynamic as it could be.
I absolutely loved the artwork in this, looking forward to the Hollow City one
