The best graphic novel adaptation of a novel, especially a classic one, that I have yet seen. Artwork is done in a watercolor style and fits the adventurous story perfectly. If the movies had stuck more to the script of the book like this, they would have been wonderful portrayals of the book parts. The GN is not broken into chapters, but visually knowing when each scene changes into a new chapter feels easy. Some pages are very text heavy, but stretching out art or dialogue/action from text into more pages would not have made sense. I truly loved reliving the story in this fashion and am glad I added it to my own collection.
