I don't think they will ever get a graphic novel based off a book right. I have read Alex rider graphics and they look like their characters but the storyline is completely different. Then you have this book. The storyline is exactly the same as the book but the characters do not look right. It is like they cannot get both of them right. It is either one or other.

Matt is an orphan delinquent who winds up being placed in a sleepy village as an alternative to juvenile prison and it is here that he realises he's not entirely normal, and neither are the inhabitants of his new village.

Based on the novel of the same name, this looks to be a fun beginning to The Power of Five series and the graphic adaption seems to have been handled well although I might still make the effort to read the novel as there is a feeling that some of the finer details haven't translated as well in this format. Still worth a look though and the whole good versus evil theme is always a good one to create suspense and action in a book. ( )
