I'm not sure what I was expecting but the storyline presentation was too Dick and Jane for me. I'm not much of a graphic/comic book reader so perhaps that simplicity was the point. I suppose that I enjoyed the depth of the read of the book edition too much to appreciate this version. However, I was very impressed with the illustrations. It was fantastic!! Beautiful lines, gorgeous art. Though, I didn't like the pages with the mixture of photography and illustrations ..seems like cheating. It wasn't of course, because in art nothing is really a wrong way. It's beauty is a matter of taste to the viewer. So there, this graphic novel overall (including script) to me was sirloin rather than filet mignon. ;)
