Northranger by Rey Terciero
5.0
It was very good. I didn’t know that it was an adaptation of Jane Foster’s “Northranger Abbey” until the very end, and it’s quite surprising. It stands on its own mostly.
(I mean, even the word Northranger sounds stereotypically Texan.)
The graphic novel is drawn very well. I like the use of one singular color, dark maroon, having kind of a somber and mysterious mood.
The plot is a bit simple, but the characters are well-built enough to feel believable. It’s funny how Cade’s obsession with horror movies causes him to be suspicious of everyone. Even I kind of fell for it, especially with how ominously the other family is presented.
There’s two minor problems I have, but that’s about it. One, I don’t like how Cade goes from here to there throughout Texas. In this short book, I think it would be better to give more time for each location, or have less locations. I also find it a bit strange how the two boys use ‘queer’. I mean, they’re able to use it, but it would be more realistic for them to use ‘gay’ in their situations.
Overall, a great graphic novel with excellent art and writing
