I won this book through Goodreads First Reads.
I have to admit this was something very different for me, not only was it my first graphic novel, I'm not the biggest Sci-Fi fan when it comes to books.
I found the pictures quite dark and it was hard to distinguish who was in what scene at times. The story moved quickly between character and because the pictures were dark it often took a bit of time to figure out who was talking.
I found the story line easy to follow and its a good idea but the wording was not the strongest, a little juvenile. This could be the way graphic novels are written but not something I enjoyed.
