Speak: The Graphic Novel by Laurie Halse Anderson

5.0

Wow. This was stunning, in regards to both the story and the artwork. This is the first time I've read "Speak" in any form, but am definitely going to be picking up the novel to read it again. Mel's story is written so well in Anderson's writing and captured perfectly in Carroll's haunting style. The sense of being a rabbit with shortened breath was just felt so deeply within "Speak" that it was impossible to not feel what Mel was feeling and be get completely caught up in her life. This book is outstanding. // Content warnings: rape, self-harm, physical abuse, severe anxiety & depression,
