The City of Ember: The Graphic Novel

The art was stunning, I loved it. I also loved Lina and Doon's ambiguously non-white skin colour. The story, though, suffered from being so abbreviated. This should have been a much larger book, and I think the only reason I enjoyed reading it is because I'd already read the original novel. I already knew the prologue about the Builders hiding the box and how it was forgotten over the years, I knew the significance of the Singing, I knew the depth of their ignorance of and dependence on electricity - basically all the stuff that made the City of Ember alive and interesting. None of it came through in the graphic novel, so I urge anyone who only read this to read the original as well.
