Great book. Very funny. Beautifully drawn, with terrific comic timing. I think it's one that would repay a few rereadings. You can feel the amount of care and attention that went into this. Recommended.

This was a great adaptation! Rob Davis’ illustrations were fresh and lively, and I’m impressed by how he’s managed to condense the novel and implement all the highlights from part 1, making the story both accessible and visually pleasing for modern readers. He’d used some clever artsy tricks to emphasize the mini stories and Cervante’s author commentary, which could sometimes be somewhat confusing when reading the full-text version.
I still find value in having read the original novel; it allowed me to spend more time in Don Quixote’s crazy, yet admirable, universe, and I also feel increased fondness of the scenes from having read them in full. Nevertheless, I’ll definitely recommend this as a great alternative to anyone who’d like to familiarize themselves with literature’s most famous knight errant!
Looking forward to reading the second volume soon:)

Don Quijote es un loco lindo.
Esta totalmente chiflado pero te da ternura y ganas de cachetearlo al mismo tiempo.
No tiene limite de edad disfrutarlo.
Si reconozco que no le di mucha bola cuando lo lei en secundaria, pero la verdad es un libro que hay que leer despacio y con ganas por la prosa.
En cuanto a esta version ilustrada: Divino. Quiero ver como sigue en la segunda parte.

The art is beautiful but Don Quixote is too episodic for me and I just want to watch it as a monty python show instead
