The Odyssey (Graphic Novel adaptation)
by Homer
I like the fact that this book has been modified to help people understand the story. At the beginning, it shows all the main characters, what they looked like, and a simple description. The story was very creative, but it could have used more explanation, as to which character is which and what they actually do. At times, the reader can get confused because there are so many different legends and myths and heroes. Overall, the story was good, and the illustrations were very detailed and realistic.

Change of Heart
by Nora McClintock
Robyn is torn apart when one friend accuses the other for the murder of her boyfriend. I think that was a very interesting set-up, but it could have played out better. Although the plot has been used before, there were lots of twists thrown in. The only thing I didn't like was how, as a reader, you knew that the accused wasn't the actual murderer. It would have added a whole lot more drama if this wasn't the case. The ending was a little predictable, but also a bit surprising. I was surprised by who the actual murderer was.
I would have liked more action in the story, because the only suspenseful part came very close to the end. Nick appears very briefly throughout the book. I would have liked to read more about him.
In all, this was not the best book in this series, but still it was pretty good.

Amulet vol. 2
by Kean Soo
I liked this book because it had a n interesting, adventurous and action based theme. It is the sequel to Amulet. It is about Emily and Navin going to Kanalis tofind a way to cure to the poison their mother was given and also a way to escape the elves. Instead, they find themselves in the middle of a war.
I recommend this book to those who like to see pictures and some words together on the page. In other words: Graphic Novels.
