Todays topic: Graphic Novel vs Traditional Novel

My Answer:  Personally I have never gotten into graphic novels, and it doesn't seem to matter what subject it is.  I'm not really sure why that is, since I never had a problem with picture books!  If I had to guess a reason I would say that my mind likes to be in control... when I read a book my brain has creative freedom to picture the world and people however it wants.  When I look through a graphic novel it already has all the images set out for me and it leaves a lot less to the imagination.  Also it is harder for me to picture the cartoonie, non-realistic people actually having a conversation.

What about YOU? Do you prefer Graphic Novel vs Traditional Novel? 


Next weeks topic: Kindle vs Nook

Please email me with any topics you would like to see here on WiW at Epiloguereview@yahoo.com I would really appreciate any ideas you guys have!!

    Great answer Lauren! I hadn't thought about how little my imagination would have to work on a graphic novel.

    I agree with Ali--I like your answer. Traditional novels interest me a lot more, and I don't know, I just prefer them. :)

    Great answer, and yes I agree with you about letting your own imagination do the leg work:) It's kind of like book covers, sometimes I prefer them to be less personalized (ie: full on pic of the heroine or hero) because what if that's not how they look in my head?

    But I actually would like to give graphic novels/ manga a try, because I haven't yet:)

      True true.. usually with seeing the hero or heroine I just picture them that way from the start and ignore what they are "supposed" to look like ;)
