Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: The Graphic Novel by Ransom Riggs

3.0

I haven't read very many graphic novel adaptations of novels. I think that graphic novels provide a really interesting perspective to the reader of what exactly the author envisions for their story. I really want to read the original text to compare it to the graphic novel. As far as the story goes, I believe it is one very similar to that of Marvel's X-Men series. Those stories are still very active in today's culture, and because of that I think that is a very profound power to the message they deliver. While we may not have super abilities (that we know of) people do feel alienated for whatever reason. We rely on stories like these to help us escape, give us confidence, and feel like we can be a part of something greater. These characters are relatable, charming, and insecure. Despite their super abilities, they seem just like you or I, and I can always appreciate that.
