Speak: The Graphic Novel
by Laurie Halse Anderson
It's hard to condense an entire novel into a feature-length film, let alone a format like a graphic novel. This was masterfully done here. I've read the original book many times, and it doesn't feel like a single line was left out. The art added depth to the story, and both art and text update the book for a modern audience.
My only concern is that by including references to real things such as Instagram, it could cause the graphic novel to age faster than it otherwise might have. Modern readers of the original book might wonder at the lack of cell phones, but we've all seen how quickly an app can become passé.
