Blue Is the Warmest Color

I didn't even know that the film was based on a graphic novel. That's so cool! It felt just a bit disjointed at times and for the first time I felt that having watched the film helped me to understand the progression of the story a little bit better. It's a moving story that is fundamentally different from the film. Well worth a read as it's a wholly different experience, really. I think I might try reading it in the original French.

I am taking on Book Riot's 2017 Read Harder Challenge, with the intention of reading 24 books in categories I don't ordinarily gravitate towards. Does Blue Is the Warmest Color qualify for the “all-ages comic” category? Maybe not. Clearly I am not a big reader of graphic novels, or comics, but I really liked this one–touching story and lovely images.
