I desperately wish that this book had come out before the movie. Young Kim, who did the art and adaptation for the graphic novel, is incredible! The characters are gorgeous and sexy and just what they should have been- and that isn't even the best part! The artwork for this graphic novel is extremely unique in that scenery and locations use real photography with shading or other things sketched over them. The overall effect is stunning and makes this one of the most beautiful graphic novels I've ever seen. Even Kim's use of color in certain scenes is very well done and not at all disruptive. The only thing I didn't enjoy about this book was the text and dialogue. It all comes directly from the book and is as bland here as it was after I'd read the book more than once and seen the movie. So if you've read the book or seen the movie, then treat this graphic novel as a lavish work of art.
