I read the original version of Hide last year when it released, and while I enjoyed it, I remember thinking it had a lot of facets that didn't translate well to a written novel and would have worked better in a visual medium, like a film or mini-series—or, lo and behold, a graphic novel!

I was right: this format works so much better for telling this story! While the vast array of characters felt too same-y in the regular book, they were so much easier to tell apart with visual depictions (kudos to the artist for making even fairly similar characters very easy to tell apart!), and the theme park setting and its secrets were so much fun in this format.

I had a blast re-visiting this story and I highly recommend picking up a copy of this graphic novel for your summer horror reading, whether you've read the original novel or not. It's a brilliantly done, enjoyable, faithful adaptation and I liked it a lot!

Thank you to the publisher for the review copy! All thoughts are honest and my own.
