The Road: a Graphic Novel Adaptation by Manu Larcenet
dark
sad
medium-paced
5.0
I have a confession to make. I actually didn’t like the original novel. But this? This was fantastic! It made everything I disliked about the Road disappear. The weird writing style, the repetitiveness, the slow pacing, all of it gone.
I found the book so hard to put down that I actually ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting.
The best part of the graphic novel is the artwork. Every time I turned the page I had to pause just to take everything in. It’s cold and dreary, and it feels incredibly lonely. The characters were so life-like, and expressive in between the dialogue.
The graphic novel version of The Road is easily a 5-star read, I highly recommend checking this one out when it comes out on September 17.
A huge thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the gifted copy!
