It could be like a foreign language -- if you don't hear it while young, you'll never be completely fluent.<br /><br />I'm about to try Emma, which will be my first manga style novel.

Could that be the one that pushes you over the edge? :)Carin Siegfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278383926500248048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-3302341633804051072010-07-08T06:32:49.423-07:002010-07-08T06:32:49.423-07:00I never read graphic novel.

Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy you...Oh no! Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your first graphic novel experience. <br /><br />I did enjoy Persepolis, but didn't love it. I felt it was a bit dry and overly factual. I could never really connect with the characters as I didn't have the rich detail of a book. <br /><br />I think you need to try a different kind of graphic novel. Perhaps one that is a bit more entertaining? I'm not an expert, as I haven't read enough. Hopefully someone will come up with some suggestions for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.com
