You must be kidding
I cannot believe what a money grubbing piece of nonsense this disgrace of so called book is. Shame on Janet Evanovich, her daughter and the publisher. This is no 'novel', graphic or otherwise. It's a pathetic comic with a hardcover that takes less than 20 minutes to read. The artwork is beautiful. The story is beyond lame.
DO NOT waste your money. One entire page had all of about 7 lines of dialogue, another 3 lines. This wouldn't even qualify as a short story if sold by the word. The page count was heavily padded by the artwork, which is just not a substitute for plot or content. Honestly, it reads like a first year writing class assignment and dressed up with great artwork and that does not a graphic novel make.
I am so over Janet Evanovich and her ridiculous money making schemes. And shame on Amazon for promoting this rip-off.
PS: I actually did an estimated word count for this graphic novel. It's under 1,500 words. To put this in perspective, a typical typeset page has 350 to 650 words. Even with a big typeface, small page size, this 'novel' would struggle to be 3-4 pages of barely related vignettes with virtually nothing to hold each so-called 'chapter' together.
