Some books, such as
science fiction and mystery novels are often well-fitted to be translated into
graphic novels, and this stylized and amazingly illustrated graphic version of The Giver truly brings out and captures
the elements of this novel that make it so unique, relevant, and astonishingly
absolute.
The author, P. Craig Russell, uses a blue and silver palette for most of the novel, a great choice, as the colors bring out a more solemn and almost bland look to the world, almost as if its colors were drained. The illustrations are well -rafted, with each character popping out of the page with their expressive actions; each drawing flows with the narrative and somehow brings the same feeling as if you were reading a whole novel in text.
P. Craig Russell’s adaptation of Lois Lowry’s novel is one that both newcomers of the book, and experienced readers of her work will enjoy, and be captivated by the visual storytelling.
