Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Breaking Up Is Hard To Do... But You Could've Done Better in Books
Jul 12, 2018
I was really hoping that I would like this graphic novel but honestly it just fell flat for me. The concept of it could have been amazing. From the description I thought it would have been more of a graphic novel and less like a picture book. You would have one to two pages of text and then a drawing. It was nothing that I was expecting.
Unfortunately, the stories weren't even that spectacular nor did the drawings make up for it. At one point, a drawing was in the middle of the story and "spoiled" the ending which was just bad placement.
The pictures were okay but really nothing special. It was nothing spectacular.
All in all, It was okay. I probably won't pick up another book from this author.
*I received this book from NetGalley.

Interview with the vampire Claudia’s Story!
Graphic Novel
An Adaptation by Ashley Marie Witter of the book by Anne Rice
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A richly-illustrated adaptation of Anne Rice's INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, told through the eyes of the vampire Claudia, who was just a little girl when she was turned by the vampire Lestat. Though she spends many years of happiness with her two vampire fathers, she gradually grows discontent with their insistence upon treating her like a little girl, even though she has lived as long as any mortal man...and her lust to kill is certainly no less than theirs...
This was such a beautiful graphic novel! Interview with the vampire is one of my favourite books so to see this side of Claudia story so beautifully illustrated was just special. Stunning book.

RavenclawPrincess913 (253 KP) rated Coven in Books
Aug 18, 2022
Title: Coven
Author: Jennifer Dugan, Kit Seaton
Read Dates: August 17th
Rating: 4/5
I chose to read Coven by Jennifer Dugan and Kit Seaton because it seemed interesting and was sent to me by Bookishfirst. I love the cover it's very pretty. The title and rest of the cover is what caught my attention. This Graphic Novel takes place in Upstate New York. One thing I loved was the illustrations in this Novel. Graphic Novels are something out of my comfort zone to their a little harder to get into because I prefer to leave it up to the imagination. But I really liked the story. It's sad what happened to Ben's parents and I understand Emsy's frustration with moving and being the new girl as that was me a lot. I loved the ending it was very unexpected.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2200 KP) rated Sidekicks in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When a superhero decides to get a new sidekick, his pets want in on the act. And that's not quite as bad an idea as it sounds.
This graphic novel is fun, and middle school students will enjoy it. Heck, I enjoyed it, and I'm an adult.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated The Owners (2020) in Movies
Oct 29, 2021 (Updated Nov 2, 2021)
The Owners had me intrigued from the first time I saw the trailer, the idea of a fresh twist on the home-invasion genre had me wondering how the movie would play out and how the young vs older cast would come together in this adaptation of the graphic novel ‘Une Nuit de Pleine Lune’ from legendary creators Hermann and Yves H.
Kyera (8 KP) rated The Eye of the World in Books
Feb 1, 2018
I have wanted to read the Eye of the World for a while now, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to jump into a dense fantasy at the moment. As a result, I decided to read the graphic novel and see how I felt about it. It is a more succinct version of the story, which allows it to get the plot and characters across without weighing it down too much. I felt satisfied by the story that I read but intrigued enough by it that I would like to read the actual book to get more details about the world.
My one qualm about the graphic novel is the artwork because it is very inconsistent. Our main character's face changes in every scene, which would make it difficult to recognize him if not for his red hair. His three friends, on the other hand, are all brunettes and entirely interchangeable. There were also two girls, one a healer and the other the main character's crush - also could not tell them apart. But the artwork itself was well done despite that.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading the story and I am interested to see where it goes from here. Right now, I am torn between diving into the next graphic novel or opening the first book.
