I was so excited to read the graphic novel adaptation of one of my favorite books. I loved experiencing the story in a new format, though I will say I wish some sections of the book were a little longer.
The illustrations were beautiful and truly captured the emotions being portrayed from the words, but also those in which words were not used.
