Speak: The Graphic Novel
by Laurie Halse Anderson
Emotionally poignant.
The copy I received seemed like it had been badly photocopied some pages a little dark and it was a struggle for me to read the text, one page the text was cut off the edge of the page so I missed out on a bit of the story, which did take me out of it a little.
But the overall art style and story itself was very realistic. Whilst I’ve never been put in that position, I think it very realistically portrayed the utter heartbreak and devastating reality of navigating a very serious situation like that.
The bright spot of the novel was the art teacher who I felt reminded me of my very own high school art teacher. He was a bit of a tough cookie who definitely made me cry a few times, but ultimately helped me discover myself and supported me and my art during times when I had no one else.
I feel that this is another read that all women, especially high schoolers should read, hell it should be something that young men read as well so they can understand how their actions affect others.
