The Graphic Canon

review 1: This book claims to be a collection of classic works turned into graphic form. It only lives up to this claim periodically. Most of the time, the "adaptions" are so spliced up and shrunken that they are barely recognizable to their original forms. The art is unpredictable, with some stories being masterfully drawn, others drawn so-so, and a sadly large amount drawn poorly. A few of the adaptions were good; but most of them were below average to terrible. I came into this with high hopes, and was really let down. I could not recommend this to anyone to read.
review 2: Wonderful idea, poorly executed. About 3/4 of the works are beautifully done. The problem I had with it is that the works are selections. And not all of the selections are the best. There are... more a few poems and works that are printed in full, but that is not the standard in this book. There are two more volumes following this and I have to say that I don't feel like I'll be missing out if I don't read them. I love graphic novels, don't get me wrong, but I don't think that the Graphic Canon did justice to such beautiful works of literature. Guess English/Literature majors shouldn't read this.... less
