Unlike some of the other classic novels I have been wading through, this holds up very well in the twenty - first century with the underlying theme of be careful what you wish for. This graphic novel uses all original prose and illustrations to tell the story of one man's descent into madness after pursuing his dreams of becoming invisible. There are so many levels to this book and the graphic novel works well as an introduction to the actual book. Recommended for Year 7 upwards.
