so-soI have mixed feelings about this. I didn‘t get the sense that this added much to the original - though it didn‘t loose anything either, it was very faithful to the book & captured it well. And the art was similarly well done, but didn‘t blow me away or strike me as special. On the other hand, I do really appreciate that these graphic adaptations of classics are coming out. I wasn‘t assigned The Giver in school, and all the nagging in the world⬇️
IndoorDame didn‘t get me to read it as a kid. I didn‘t pick it up till my late 20s when a fellow teacher wanted advice on teaching it. But I was really excited to read this when I saw it was out, and I know there are a lot of kids with the same reaction. #BBRCTeenAngstYourParentTeacherHasNaggedYouToRead @LibrarianRyan 2y
Kenyazero This looks like a neat adaptation. I too love comic and graphic novel adaptations of classics. It's fun to see what they considered important enough to leave in and how well it might pair with English class coursework. 2y
LibrarianRyan @IndoorDame Cool. This one has not been high on my list. 2y
