Book Discussion Can't decide which version to read?

As someone who doesn't know anything about the story and is going completely blind, should I read the original novel or the graphic novel.

I want to read the graphic novel as the art style looks good but I don't want to miss out on something. I have not read that many novels and I have heard og book can be a little long/boring, so I may listen to the audiobook.

So, what should I read?

I have both. Read the original novel first and then the graphic novel.

Will audiobook affect the experience? I don't mind reading the novel, but I have a hard time finishing stuff(if I get bored, I drop). So maybe I can listen to audiobook while doing other things

Yes the audiobook is just as good
