The reason why I like this graphic novel format slightly better than the original is because the pacing is much faster in this graphic novel and most of the parts that felt close to racism were cut out of the book. That being said, the same story was there and I was able to understand the story because I’d already read the original book. Don’t even get me started on how bad the movie messed up Ridley… This graphic novel is much better than the Beautiful Creatures movie though. This has more to do with a personal preference of mine though as I’m sure there’s other people who are fans of this artwork and this depiction of the characters. With the exception of Ridley and Ryan, the artwork wasn’t even close to what I pictured the characters to look like. Essential parts of the story are cut out to fit the book into the graphic novel format and the artwork was not my favorite. I’m familiar with Cassandra Jean’s work from the Miss Peregrine’s graphic novels and this one had some of the same issues that I had with the Miss Peregrine’s graphic novels. The thing about this adaptation is that I enjoyed it slightly better than the original, but this adaptation wouldn’t make sense if you hadn’t read the original book first.
