5.0

I read the original Between Shades of Gray novel and was ready to break my heart all over again when I saw that a graphic novel adaptation exists. The tone of the illustrations fit the emotion of the story perfectly, and as I expected, made the most heart-wrenching moments of the book pack an even greater punch.
