The story seemed really intriguing but the artwork was really distracting during parts that weren’t as mystical and I still don’t exactly know what’s going on. I don’t think I’ll continue to vol 2.

This was such a great book to graphic novel adaptation! They really nailed the storyline to perfection which is pretty surprising and I was very pleased. I know a lot of King readers weren’t huge fans of this book but I loved it and I was thrilled to get to revisit it in graphic novel form. The artwork is just beyond stunning too, it’s absolutely beautiful and fit the story perfectly. The colours were just spectacular too, a true feast for the eyes!

An interesting concept, although I do think they could’ve added more detail to the story aspect of the graphic novel.

I absolutely loved the artwork in this graphic novel. The story is very interesting and I can't wait to read volume 2, followed by the actual novel.

I really loved the art in this graphic novel! As soon as I'm done reading both volumes, I'm going to get my hands on the actual novel as quickly as I can. I love the premise and am intrigued to get to the second volume.
