{My thoughts} – Another wonderful Classic brought to life through the art of Manga. I’ll be completely honest, I have never considered reading the original book. It’s big, it’s thick and I feel like I’d be reading it forever. I didn’t feel that way with this version. I am truly finding a new love for Manga books, most importantly for the Classics.

While I was reading through this book, I couldn’t help but enjoy the illustrations. The detail put into them and the way in which the characters were brought to life within the pages. I have come to wonder how it is possible that such long stories can be shortened in such a way that they pull the reader in. I found it difficult to set this particular book down a couple of times, due to needing to get some other things done.

I look forward to reading more books in this series. So, far I have not been disappointed and have enjoyed each of the books, I have had an opportunity to read! ( )

The books did an amazing job of turning a very detailed and complex story into a manga. The art and writing were great. They did a great job of cutting just enough but keep the right amount so that the story would not lose that amazingness that is the original version.


I revised a free copy from NetGalley and decided to leave a review. ( )

I am impressed with this. I love the original book, but it is very long. The story adaptors and artists did a great job of translating the original into a manga and still telling its story. They even included portions at the end explaining some changes and information about real locations within the story and the characters. I loved the artwork and the whole idea of making a classic into a manga. This was an enjoyable experience for me.

A surprisingly faithful adaptation with very good art. The original tale is a massive book with many complicated subplots, but the manga does a superb job of condensing and simplifying without losing too much of the original's flavor. This would be an excellent adaptation to give to children too young for the original.
