The Great Gatsby: A Graphic Novel Adaptation by F. Scott Fitzgerald
3.0
'The Great Gatsby: A Graphic Novel Adaptation' by F. Scott Fitzgerald with illustrations and adaptation by K. Woodman-Maynard is the second recent adaptation I've read of this famous novel.
Nick Carraway is the narrator to this slowly unfolding tragedy. From the enigmatic Jay Gatsby to the troubled marriage of Tom and Daisy Buchanan. Unfolding against a cacophonous background of early automobiles and free-flowing booze.
I liked this adaptation a bit better, even though it's a looser adaptation. The story flows rather well. I was less enamored of the art. It had a kind of unfinished quality to it. Hopefully that was just because I was reading a review copy. I did like the artist's choice to incorporate narrative in to the flowing art.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Candlewick Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
