fleurdujour 's review for:

Speak: The Graphic Novel by Laurie Halse Anderson
4.0

I really loved the updating that they did while adapting the much loved YA novel, it's unobtrusive and doesn't distract from the story (once I read an updated version of I Know What You Did Last Summer and they included cellphones, and let's just say it didn't work very well). The illustrations themselves are gorgeous and only the strongest and most important moments are extracted from the story creating a lean and powerful narrative.
