lindsayhodgson 's review for:
The Giver (Graphic Novel)
by Lois Lowry
A solid choice.
The trend of classic middle school assigned readings-turned-graphic novels has not slowed down in any form. I am personally a fan of this because it exposes truly rich stories to a much younger audience in a way that is accessible and digestible to them. In the age of media, graphic novels meet youth where they are. And there's nothing 'less than' about that.
I appreciate the level of adherence to the original novel. In terms of story, almost no creative liberty was taken, and I think I almost prefer that to the twists and turns that so many adaptations take on. Here, the story remains, and someone who has read the original novel can simply enjoy how the art illuminates the story.
