The Red Pyramid: The Graphic Novel (The Kane Chronicles: The Graphic Novels, #1)
by
by
A graphic adaptation of the first novel in the Kane Chronicles.The Kane children find out that they are descended from the pharoahs of Egypt.Because of this they can use Egyptian magic and even summon the Egyptian gods.They must use these new powers to fight and stop Set from destroying North America and they only have a few days to do it.
As with any graphic novel you trade detailed writing for a visual telling of the story.So how good it is depends on two factors.The first is the artwork of course.The second is how close the adaptation is to the original material
The artwork is fairly realistic and has enough detail that it isn't generic.Some aspects are exaggerated at times but never enough to make it appear cartoonish.The story is faithful to the novel.
This would be good for any fan of Rick Riordan

It has been a little while since I read both of them but it seems it was more of a matter of the level of detail that was included. the book just wen t deeper into details and of course you got more internal dialogue. I can't think of anything that was majorly changed or cut in the graphic novel. Sorry i couldn't be more specific.
