Without realising I thought this to be a graphic comic book when I clicked to review. In a way Im glad that it was a traditional book. I personally am not an X-men fan however this made reading this book so much easier. I had no clue on the back stories of the characters and this made this story more enjoyable. I personally think this could become a graphic novel pretty easily.
The story itself was engaging enough that I read 90% in 1 day and proceeded to read the next morning when I woke up. I felt connected to Rogue and understood what she was going through 'finding herself'. The story had action, excitement and a little romance, however Rogue found what she needed in the end and that was a family (all be in mutant). A very enjoyable relaxing read.
