I haven't read one in twenty years and they must have changed. James Patterson is bringing out some of his books in that form, starting this May.

I was wondering what would be the appeal pf graphic novels to older audiences. I would imagine his readership falls into the over 30 age group.

Granted, the first one he plans to release is a based on a young adult novel called Witch & Wizard.

Somehow I don't envisage fans of Alex Cross buying it. It's seems a strange business decision to make. Please share your thoughts on this.What would it take for you to buy a book in graphic novel format?

I know there's a Twilight one coming out too soon. Are graphic novels going to be the new hot ticket in book trends?
