klmathews 's review for:
Sherlock Holmes the Hound of the Baskervilles (Dover Graphic Novel Classics)
by Arthur Conan Doyle
Advance copy provided for review by publisher through Net Galley.
I already know students I am excited to recommend this title to. Hounds of the Baskervilles is a great text to begin with. The graphic novel format helps to make it more accessible. It is an easy enough read for young readers, but engaging enough for readers of all ages. Understand that it is not the original text, but I feel that very little was lost in the adaptation.
Color images would have been nice, but on the other hand, I appreciate that the black and white approach keeps the cost down. Graphic Novels can be pricey, and this one is incredibly affordable. Some of the pages/frame seem a little text heavy, especially when a scene is primarily dialog or monologue. That is a challenge that comes with this text in particular. However, these pages are alternated nicely, with some full page panels.
