i remember reading the original book when i was younger so when i saw the graphic novel at the library, i immediately grabbed it
the story itself is one that will always pull on my heart strings and the artwork of this compliments it so well. 
i am unsure if it is the artist or just the story but the fact the art is in black and white makes it even better. 
overall, the plot was a little slower than i usually enjoy so it took me a bit to get through it but i would definitely recommend this to someone who is aware of the trigger warnings beforehand
