This is a graphic novel adaptation of one of my favourite sci-fi short stories. The art was much more beautiful than I had imagined when I read the story. I considered giving this 3 stars but had to bump it up for the stunning art.

It might raise a few questions if you haven't read the story but the premise and art are still worth it. My only complaint is that the text blended with the background in some places making it quite hard to read.

Would recommend the short story as well as this adaptation. (
