142. Title & Author: Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Volume 1 by Stephenie Meyer with art and adaptation by Young Kim (224 pages)Genre: Fiction--Romance, Young Adult, & Graphic Novel
Completed: 25 April 2010
Summary & Review:
The first portion of Stephenie Meyer's huge bestseller Twilight is turned into a graphic novel by the Korean artist, Young Kim. This version follows the exact same story as the original novel, but cuts off shortly after Bella and Edward's first visit to the meadow.
This is the first graphic novel I've ever read and I thought it was a pretty interesting medium. The way the images attempted to capture action, dialogue, feelings, and emotion was intriguing. It was remarkable how well Kim was able to capture those elements in ink. The main weakness I thought was that if I had not read the actual novel first, I think I would of really missed out on the key elements of the story and the intricacies and nuances that make Twilight what it is.
Rating: 6.0
