I requested this title back before my blogging break. I have ended up with a number of titles that are overwhelming to catch up on now I am back from my blogging break. I am regretfully not going to be reading and reviewing this title, but now I am back from my blogging break, I am looking forward to reading and reviewing some of your future titles. Thank you so much for the opportunity and apologies.

Unfortunately I no longer wish to review this book as the first few chapters did not reel me in. Thank you for the opportunity.

I'm a huge fan of Non Pratt and I've loved everything by her that I've read. I always look forward to her books and as well as this e-book from Netgalley, I also own a signed paperback of this book.

I've not read the graphic novels of which this book is based, but from this book it seems as though the graphic novels would be a lot of fun! Based on three friend, Esther, Susan and Daisy, as readers follow their adventures in university navigating school work, friendships, hobbies and relationships. I enjoyed Giant Days and really related to a lot of it - being unsure of mixing old friends with new, clinging to friendships that aren't as genuine as I'd like them to be, the uncertainty of new things, being away from home. There was a lot I enjoyed about the book and I absolutely wish there were more university-based stories.

As a fan of the series I can tell you that Pratt's book can be included seamlessly in their canon. The author managed to capture exactly what I love about each character. More please!

I haven’t previously read the graphic novels this is based on but it’s a fun story with relatable characters. Made me want to pick up the graphic novels after!

I thoroughly enjoy the graphic novels of Giant Days. This gives me a lot of the same feels but it's just not the same. I think the art that goes along with the story really makes it the greatness it is.

Thank you for providing a copy of this book for review however I was unable to open the file for this document unfortunately! Apologies.

Many thanks to Netgalley in providing me an e-ARC of the book.

I have not read the graphic novels prior to reading this, hence my opinions are solely based on this novel. When I started reading this book, I did not think I would enjoy it. The author jumps right into the story and I felt like there was no time to gradually introduce and personalize with the characters. However, as I continued reading, I started to enjoy the plot and the characters as well. The plot is a bit silly, and the characters are quirky, but it was still fun to read.

The main thing I like about “Giant Days” is that it is never dull. There is always something happening with the three characters to keep the plot interesting. To begin with, I like how the author shifts between story-lines after each paragraph to keep the pace consistent. Personally, I found Daisy’s character and her story-line fascinating. I loved how she tries to participate in all the activities to socialize, given her background. I was hooked when she gets involved in the shady Yoga Club and starts to lose herself. Moreover, I also liked Esther and dramatic expressions on trying to befriend Vectra. Probably the only character who did not have much going for her was Susan. She seems to be a complex character, but the only thing that happens to her is McGraw coming back in her life.

Honestly, I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if I had read the graphic novels first. There are a quite a lot of supporting characters like Reggie, Ed, and Kully, whom I could not connect with at all. There is also so much happening in the plot that I didn’t get to enjoy the characters as much I would have liked to. However, I really liked the theme of college friendship, and the interesting phases that the girls go through.

Overall, “Giant Days” was a good read, but I felt it could have been better. It has sparked my curiosity to pick up the graphic novels and give them a try.

Thank you for the ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I had been almost saving this book for a rainy day, given the high praise of reviewers and recommendations. Maybe the bar was set so I, it was bound to fail. I found the characters 2-dimensional and flat. The situations and dialogue felt better suited for the original graphic novel format. I'm not sure what turning it into a novel really achieves. Disappointing.

Even though I've only read the first volume of the graphic novels, I was so excited to hear about this book inspired by the Giant Days series – and written by one of my favourite YA authors! In Giant Days, we follow the lives of "three university first-years: Daisy, the innocent home-schooled girl; Susan, the sardonic wit; and Esther, the vivacious drama queen".

I made the mistake of starting the book before I had read any of the comics. In retrospect, that shouldn't be an issue but for me it was. I got roughly half way through this one before finally deciding to put it down. I couldn't remember who a single character was (A problem I also have with the comics) and their problems just didn't matter to me because everything seemed completely over the top and like secrets were being kept for absolutely no reason. I might try this again another time but for now, I think I'll give these characters a pass.

I absolutely love Giants Days; it's probably my favourite comic at the moment. It captures the university experience perfectly and is so easy to relate to. Unfortunately, the book seems to have been unable to replicate the unique spirit of the comics and falls flat. Maybe readers who haven't read the comics would appreciate this one more as they won't be able to make constant comparisons.

Unfortunately I didn't realize that the file I downloaded expired until it was past the archive date, so I am unable to read and review this.

I'm a huge fan of Non Pratt's writing, as she creates teenagers that feel more authentic than any other author I've encountered. Like her other books, 'Giant Days' is written with humour, sharp dialogue and characters that I rooted for. I buy all of Non's books and can't wait for the next one!

This book is excellent and I loved it a lot! It bought a series of graphic novels, that I love, to life! Well Done Non Pratt, your writing is excellent.

Giant Days would be a wonderful addition to any library. The book itself covers life in college and works really well as a sort of transition from high school to college life. So it works in the YA section.

A wonderfully fun book that really captured the essence of the original graphic novel. I love Non's writing style anyway, but really feel that it helped the story and character development in this instance.

I had no familiarity with the graphic novel series that this book was based on, but am a big fan of Non Pratt, which drew me to this book. I don't feel like that took away from my enjoyment of the story. I liked the three central characters and the almost episodic structure which highlighted the ups and downs of university life.

I loved this book so much! I never wanted to go to Uni, this didn't impact my enjoyment whatsoever. I love the story, characters, plot. I don't have a bad thing to say about Giant Days and it's definitely made me want go read the graphic novels. My full review will go up on my blog soon!

I already love the graphic novels so reading this was a no brainer for me. I enjoyed getting a more in depth look at the characters I already feel like I know as friends. More please!
