A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel

A disappointment. I read the book for the first time pretty recently. I enjoyed it but don't have attachment to it created in childhood. I was really looking forward to reading the graphic novel; I'm discovering that I love the medium and appreciate adaptations of existing books.

I hate to say it, but the art really dragged down the experience. I could get past not connecting to the style if I thought it fit the story, but most of the time I thought the characters' expressions were way off, based on what they were saying or thinking. Another reviewer said that, at times, she wondered if she were reading the panels in the correct order. I had this experience as well; in fact, I enabled the animated, guided progression in the Kindle app. I didn't love reading it that way (the book isn't high-res and looks a little on the awful side when the software zooms in on the panels), but at least I was sure I was reading things in the right order.

As another reviewer said, I'm also wondering if maybe the source material isn't as great as I thought it was. I'm not in a rush to re-read the book, but I'm kind of sad that the graphic novel adaptation has left me doubting my memory of it.

It's not all bad. I love Aunt Beast.
