Unfortunately, the graphic novel does not hold up. Plotlines are slashed to fit into 120-odd pages, which only die-hard fans will likely be able to follow. With so many characters and so little time, the graphic novel doesn’t allow the reader to fall in love with the characters in the same way that the novels do. In the end, I did not love this iteration of Tales of the City, but it did make me nostalgic for the original novels. Maybe it is time to revisit the novels.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
