Ok I have never read the original non illustrated version of this classic tale but in the last year I have started taking an interest in graphic novels and this seemed like a good choice. I have always wanted to read it and it was full of cool illustrations.
The story of Meg and Charles along with their friend Calvin is a thrilling and also it is an enchanting read. It very quickly casts it spell and before you know it you are a hundred pages in.
I blame the eyes myself, the illustrator Hope Larson has done an amazing job and each character, most especially Meg has the most expressive eyes, really beautiful to be honest. It is illustrated in blues and blacks to tremendous effect.
Now I am presuming that you may have read the original but like me if you haven’t, it is the story of a girl and her younger brother plus their friend who find themselves travelling through time and space to try and find their father. Along the way they meet some unusual characters and see some incredible things but they never lose sight of what they need to find.
A wonderful read which I am planning on re-visiting with a read of the traditional version.
Have you read this and if so what did you think?

I liked the bit when Meg saved Charles Wallace when he was caught by IT. It was actually very good

Ok i think

It’s been quite a while since I read the original novel but as far as I can remember, this adaptation stays very faithful to the story. It certainly claims to do so in the fairly extensive end-notes. It’s nicely illustrated in a quirky style that seems to fit the story very well, with black, white and shades of blue.

Really easy to understand and lovely story too. Great for creative people who find it extremely difficult to understand regular worded books.

My 13year old son LOVED this version of the book! Not ‘dumbed-down’ in its conversion to graffic novel at all but made more appealing to a younger generation.
