review 1: Public library copy. Purists of classic literature beware this unfaithful comic book adaptation based on Dostoyevsky's popular novel. This effort would have fared better if it were handled in the way Classics Illustrated treated material they published. Unfortunately, the story has been modernized to 21st Century, but worse of all there is no continuity to word balloons making it quite a task for the reader to follow the conversations between two people even though two separate panels are meant to be read in a back-and-forth manner.
review 2: I started reading the original novel for our library book club. It's an enormous novel and not one of those books you can't wait to sit down and read each day. I decided life's too short to read a book you don't really l... moreike, and was told about the graphic novel. I read it in about a day and it was actually quite enjoyable. I've never read a graphic novel before, so that in itself was fun. I got an overview of what happens in the original book, which is good. Now I'm going to look through my list of other books in my "to read" list here on Goodreads, and find something I'm excited about reading. less
