I normally love graphic novels but I found this to be a really bad interpretation of the original book in the sense that it added nothing if not managed to magnify the flaws of the book It glosses over so much of the detail I enjoyed in the book and it also adds in a dumb narrator character in an attempt to turn this into some sort of moral tale Framing the story as a drunken Christmas Carol could have worked had they put care into crafting any sort of emotional both or truth with both the narrator character and with each ghost The problem with the book was how it would gloss over some truly horrific incidents as a cheeky lark ha ha those boys and in the comic is seems ten fold dismissive as it tries to boil everybody down into 12 pages of material Showcasing Oliver Reed
