 Clockwork Angel Manga Review

 I know what you are thinking, "How come the graphic novel got a higher rating than the actual novel?" Well, dear friends, this novel came first. The graphic novel is based on the book, therefore it's job is only to make an illustrated version. It this aspect, it did so perfectly. 
 I usually have serious issues with graphic novel interpretations because they leave out my favorite parts, or sometimes even the important parts. It's in the small details that sometimes the best information lies. This graphic novel adaption did not have that problem at all, I felt it was a fantastic manga adaption. 
 It even perfectly captured the character's mannerisms and characteristics. Needless to say, I thought the artwork was absolutely gorgeous and it depicted the characters exactly how I had imagined them! Except Henry, although I must say I like the manga's version as well! That cover just doesn't do it justice. 
 I highly recommend CLOCKWORK ANGEL fans check it out. It also provides an excellent recap for CLOCKWORK ANGEL if perhaps you do not have enough time to reread the entire book. I definitely wouldn't substitute it though-you can't beat the real thing!
