…illustrated superbly in this graphic novel. The colours are delicious – rich yet real, bright yet not busy, with realistic shading and other changes of tone. The whole artwork is superlative, with characters – human, magical or otherwise – simply and well defined.That and a whole lot more suggest this book is a faithful adaptation, cherishing the original and only making it more vivid.With the look of this tome the standout, this is the best preteen-read-to-graphic-novel book I've yet seen, making it better than the Alex Rider, Charlie Higson young Bond, and even our co-adaptor's Artemis Fowl tie-ins. It's a lengthy book, for it doesn't appear wordy yet contains a satisfying amount of bulk. It reads fine, and looks splendid, and I have no problem recommending it. |
