I listened to the audiobook prior and wanted to check out the graphic novel adaptation. I will say that I preferred the audiobook because I felt that it had better descriptions and captured emotions better than the illustrations in this book. It's still a moving and compelling story, but if choosing to read this story for the first time, I would go for the original or an audio version.
