Leah Moore

An excellent graphic novel, each chapter bearing the title of each track on the Doors album of the same name. Leah Moore quotes much of the lyrics, and anyone who is familiar to the music will find this fills their mind with the music. The attempts at capturing Jim Morrison's features are well done, particularly his body language. The stories are informative - I particularly enjoyed Peace Frog being linked to civilians taking charge of replanting a community park, and the authoritarian reaction by the police; also Ship of Fools being linked to Plato's Republic, and with the current affairs of 1969 - the moon landing, and the human pollution of earth.… (mehr)

I can't say that Dracula has ever been on of my favorite classic, but I have been thinking of re-reading the book since it has been years since I read it. But now I don't need to since I read this faithful graphic novel instead. But I must admit that I would have preferred the book instead and I will probably try to re-read the book sometime in the future when my memory has faded a bit...

I had some problem with the font, a lot of different fonts was used some worked fine on the Ipad, some were a lot harder to read, so, in the end, I read part of it on the computer and part of it on my Ipad (depending on If was near a computer since I wasn't always at home)

Also the art...hmm it just didn't do the trick for me. I wasn't really overwhelmed by it.

But it the end it was a hell of a ride! ;)
