Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge discussion

Use this thread to talk about task #6: read a comic based on a book and the book it’s based on

I did something a bit off the beaten path for this one. I read a fan translation of the light novel series Maria-sama ga Miteru and then read the manga adaptation. I reviewed it here.

While it may be cheating because of how short it is, I used Corban Wilkin's The Old Man and the Sea because I loved the book and was desperately hoping there would be a comic version. I thought the art was beautiful and honestly...how long can a comic summarizing a 100 page book be?

I finally picked up The Kite Runner, and was able to read the graphic adaption of it as well!

Pretty sure I'm doing A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle and A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel by Hope Larson

My mom and I read A Wrinkle In Time together when I was probably a little young for it but she'd read a page and I'd read a page and she'd read a page and I'd read a page and it was a really special memory for me.

I was assigned the novel once in school but I'm pretty sure I didn't reread it then. So it will be nice to revisit it now, and the graphic novel.

Ooh! I didn't realise there was a graphic version of A Wrinkle in Time, and I have that book on my TBR shelf! I was struggling to find something for this one too, thank you :)

The graphic novel version is excellent! I love it. :)
