Ratings and reviews

It's pretty good but there are a lot of flaws, and I'm not the one to judge but I think this wasn't really put into effort.. The art isn't clean and some look like sketches. There are also clean panels and great shading but most of it seems like it's rushed and there were some mistakes in colouring as well. Other than the art, a lot of things from the original novel are missing. And Jessica's hair is different here. A lot of things are unexplained in this graphic novel but other than that, it's alright

There is too much missing from the original book that would have provided better development of the characters. Charlotte's memory of how the spring locks work is missing. It would have been super easy to include a speach bubble saying "Because that's how many there are" in the three closets scene too. The art is off model or disproportionate at times and seems rushed, the colouring has errors (Spring Bonnie's red bowtie, Jessica's blonde hair), and the lighting/shading is almost non-existent.

While not amazing, it's pretty good. It doesn't seem to have the magic the book has, but it is fun to see what these characters look like outside of your own imagination. My biggest complaint would be that it seems rushed and a lot of important things are cut from the book
