Title: New Moon: The Graphic Novel Volume 1
Series: New Moon: The Graphic Novel - 1st volume
Author: Stephenie Meyer & Young Kim
Comments: New Moon adapts into a graphic novel much better than you’d expect purely because it distills it so much. Unlike the novel, which was full of description and exposition of Bella’s feelings without many things happening, the graphic novel moves at a much quicker pace without losing any of the meaningful content. However, it is also when reading through it that you come to realize how ridiculous some of the plotlines are such as the hallucinations that Bella has of Edward. The plot is simple thus far, where after a mistake, Edward and the rest of the Cullens leave Forks and tries to break up with Bella. In despair, Bella finds comfort in the company of Jacob. Unfortunately, this first volume ends at a really awkward point in the story, you would turn to the next page and it’s suddenly blank and you realize that it has ended.
Rating: 6/10
