We got it in for review, but I sent it to Kate, who will hopefully review it sometime soon. I have to read the book, too! I got 3 Gaimans last year as presents from people who were horrified I had never read him.<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2014/08/thegiverfilmreview.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-57344033822710173632014-08-11T14:42:57.816-04:002014-08-11T14:42:57.816-04:00Wow, love it!

I'm not a graphic novel person either - like you, I find it hard to get invested in the story and feel connected to the characters - so this is very encouraging to me! I really want to try this now! And surely, this can't be the only really well done graphic novel out there; maybe I just haven't found them yet.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-28086026846860987972014-08-10T18:45:54.523-04:002014-08-10T18:45:54.523-04:00I need to read the book.
