It's possible. Nate Send a noteboard - 15/10/2009 06:57:11 PM

Then they're not exactly the same, are they? ;)

In all seriousness. Charles Vess's illustrations are, in my opinion, half of the beauty and enchantment of the story. And looking at the novelization compared to the graphic novel, I just don't see how it could possibly be as thick a book as it is unless stuff was added... but I haven't read it, as I mentioned, so it is possible I've misjudged.


I'm basing my recollection off what I thought was the graphic novel version, seen in a store once and flipped through. But the thing I flipped through was fairly sizeable. If what you're talking about is pretty thin, then it might be something altogether different ...
