Just not interested in that genre. Do you have any favorite graphic novels you would recommend?<br /><br />Staci - I agree. These would be great books for high school or even middle school. Definitely planning to read the second!<br /><br />Bellezza - I think I've read more Pulitzers than Parker books. I have a feeling you'll like Maus. <br /><br />Kailana - Feel free to give me a few recommendations for your favorite graphic novels. :)<br /><br />Kim - It's a very quick read. You could easily get it read in a day or two.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-62713834295041458772009-06-27T10:15:21.958-07:002009-06-27T10:15:21.958-07:00When I took my sons out for our annual last day of...When I took my sons out for our annual last day of school lunch/shopping date last week, Maus is the book my 17 year old picked. I did not realize it had won a Pulitzer either. To my knowledge he hasn't started it yet as I gave him some assigned reading, but I think he will soon. I think I will grab it after he is done with it!<br />*smiles*<br />Kim Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-77060762061375224522009-06-27T03:13:31.997-07:002009-06-27T03:13:31.997-07:00I read this and its sequel at the beginning of the...I read this and its sequel at the beginning of the year and would probably rate them about the same as you! I second Iliana, do you think you will read anymore graphic novels? I used to refuse to read them, but they have found their way into my reading this year.Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-74509492353745972642009-06-26T18:13:26.828-07:002009-06-26T18:13:26.828-07:00I didn't know this won a Pulitzer!

For me, the drawings really made a huge impact on me and brought the story to life. I feel that this would be an excellent books to use in high school to engage that reluctant reader. This is a medium that hasn't received a lot of attention in the past but I feel that it is starting to get the raves it deserves.Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-21167599686390234542009-06-26T14:34:42.777-07:002009-06-26T14:34:42.777-07:00I can't believe that's your first graphic ...I can't believe that's your first graphic novel? So, do you think you'll read more?<br /><br />I haven't read Maus but I do think with graphic novels in general I feel like I have to do almost two reads... One for the story and another to see the pictures. Especially I felt that the first few graphic novels I read.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.com
