The Kite Runner Graphic Novel by Khaled Hosseini
Did not finish book. Stopped at 74%.
I'd read The Kite Runner last month. I saw there was a graphic novel, and I've been trying some out, surprisingly impressed for the most part. Generally I try to get the physical book, as it's difficult to read digitally. The library only had this in digital format, and size-wise, I could really only read it on my computer. It just wasn't the best set-up ... and as I was reading, I realized I didn't really WANT to relive this sad story. And it just felt a little odd to see a male-male rape and the other horrors animated like this (although I absolutely enjoyed To Kill a Mockingbird and Long Way Down and others).
The art was good - it gets a little busy trying to fit the whole story in.
... I would read a little and then stop as it was just too hard to try and read on the computer, and then I would have to force myself to return to it, and then not last very long reading. I think it would have been better with a physical book, but I really wasn't compelled to continue. I do wonder if one would get the whole story if they hadn't read the original.
... going to be okay with this as a DNF for me.
