An Inspector Calls: The Graphic Novel by J.B. Priestley
5.0
I knew this was going be a 5 star read just for the nostalgia, and of course the social commentary, but then the drama!
We studied this in school for GCSE and aside from the premise/format, I remembered surpringly little. Also, this is the first time I've reread a school gcse classic (Of Mice and Men, and Jane Eyre to go). I loved this story in school and then totally forgot about it, and was really excited a few years ago when I remembered the name of the story and I've been intending to reread it ever since, and I definetly love it more now than I did then.
Also, this graphic novel format was absolutely perfect! Adding much more to the story, and the interpretation. The war imagery and those for the social commentary really added a lot of effect to the intention, made me understand it in a more vivd way than I otherwise would have.
Brilliant writing, wonderful artistry, great commentary and, the second time I've ever gotten chills when finishing a book!
