This graphic novel adaptation captured the essence of the original book. The art was good and hooked me from the first page. ( )

Absolutely beautiful graphic adaptation of the classic novel. It really doesn’t put a foot wrong and is as engrossing and powerful as the source. Marvellous. ( )

The original story is well-maintained in this adaptation, all the most important moments are fully realized and the author stayed true to the characters (including leaving in that line where Atticus jokes that women aren’t allowed on juries because they’d ask too many questions, one of several hints in the novel that the man Scout idealized as a child would later appear more flawed in the eyes of an adult woman).

The characters facial features tended to be much more similar to one another than I would have preferred, and Boo and Dill looked so much alike in every respect that physically Dill basically just seemed like a shrunken version of Boo. I did find the illustrations impressive in other areas though, I thought the trial scenes were really well done and the backgrounds were wonderfully detailed and realistically lit, especially the nighttime panels.

I think of this graphic novel much the way I do the movie, it very much captures the spirit of the book, but you should absolutely still read the book. ( )

Even though I have read the original, watched the movie, and seen the play multiple times, this graphic adaptation helped to bring out some of the finer points of the story. ( )
