Meh. Not badly written but it read like a YA novel in its simplicity. Don't get me wrong, i love YA stuff but this was touted as an intense psychological thriller.
With the right artist, i think this could be a great graphic novel. With the right director, a great movie. The concept and story are interesting enough but the prose and execution fall a bit flat for me.
