Convince us to read the book: I love a good graphic novel, and this was a pretty good one. Some of the characters I came across in the book reminded me of those I saw in the Lord of the Rings.
Memorable or Forgettable: Again, the reminder of some of my more favored characters from Lord of the Rings. I also loved the main character's comeback in the end.
Cover: Yes it tempted me for I thought it was quite an interesting cover, and it did indeed reflect the contents of the book.

Additional Comments: Slightly violent but not bad. I look forward to finding and reading more of Matt Smith's books.
