Hide:The Graphic Novel.

When I saw that the book was being developed into a graphic novel I might have screamed and spun around in a circle and it's worth every ounce of excitement I had.

When I say I loved Hide I mean I loved it, the story, the characters, the setting, it was one of those books that stayed with me, made me buy a physical copy to annotate, and kept looking for news about it. The graphic novel took it to another level and gave me so much more of an experience.

As someone that's not big on graphic novels... (let's face it this is only my 8th) I was obsessed with this one, once I started it I couldn't put it down. The imagery is amazing and I couldn't believe how many of the images were exactly what I had pictured.

Now let's talk about the actual story for just a moment, 14 people, all with something to prove competing in the ultimate game of hide and seek for a grand prize of $50,000 for the one person that makes it out.

Mack has survived more than her fair share of trauma so when the opportunity presents itself she can't help but go for it, the thought of being able to get away and become someone new, it's just too good to pass up, and just like Mack all of our characters have something they're running from or to and that's what makes them perfect "Contestants".  I won't give anything about the ending away, I'll just say trust your gut when certain characters make an appearance.

Scott Peterson, Veronica Fish, and Andy Fish I have to say thank you for bringing one of my favorite books to such a vibrant and visually gratifying version, I had very high hopes for this one and you exceeded all of them.

Thank you to NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for providing an advance copy of this graphic novel, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
