A review by karenchase
Giant Days by Non Pratt, Boom! Studios

5.0

I have read a number of graphic adaptations of novels, but this is the first novel adaptation of a graphic that I have read. Giant Days has been a fave for a while, so I decided to pick this up. I love the graphic, but this expands and explores the story of Susan, Esther, and Daisy so much more completely than a graphic really could. The three girls (for that is what they are—teenagers exploring adult life for the first time) contend with big stuff here: shaking the ghosts of the past, self-doubt, and the ins and outs of adult friendship. In doubting themselves and their friends, they plunge and are almost lost in anger, vengeance, worship, adoration, and cults. It is irresistibly readable and satisfying.
