5.0

I've read this book once before in school and it stay with me for all these years.

I loved this graphic novel. Is the perfect way to visualise everything that those eight people went through inside that small house without infantilize the story. Anne Frank was a child with an adults mind and that is very cleverly illustrated in this book.

Everyone, everywhere, should read Anne Frank's story because is completely impossible to stay indifferent to it.

I have heard so much about Anne Frank's Diary but never read it. I thought I'd give the graphic novel adaptation and pleasantly surprised at how realistic it felt. There are some entries that the text is included in full (as far as I know) with little art. So be prepared to read long texts. I like the inclusion of the Annex occupants' story after their capture.

dark emotional funny sad tense medium-paced

I think the creators of this graphic novel adaptation of Anne Frank's Diary did a fantastic job of translating her words and world into the visual. It was different, creative, challenging, and drew me right in to her life.
They capture her voice, her humour, her immaturity alongside her wisdom, her family dynamics. 
If you haven't read the original work, I would suggest starting there? But then again, this is a faithful and respectful adaptation of it and if this format suits better, then it's a good place to start as well.
