Sapiens: A Graphic History: The Birth of Humankind, Volume 1
by Yuval Noah Harari
Absolutely WONDERFUL Novel, and I don’t say this lightly. I’m the kind of person to be quite harsh with my book reviews and nit picky so for me to say I couldn’t find a single qualm with this book was outstanding!
Firstly the art, gorgeous!! It is coloured beautifully and brings vibrance to a sometimes dreary topic. I think the wonderful visuals are quite useful in explaining some of the hard to understand topics. This novel really hammers home some of the reasons why I love well written graphic novels. They can be used to explain extremely hard concepts such as anthropology in a simple manner with pictures and diagrams.
I was expecting this novel to be just like Sapiens (the novel from which this is based), but it is completely different with enthralling characters such as Professor Saraswati and Dr Fiction. Each of these characters fit seamlessly into the story, each adding their own unique tibit of information.
I cannot recommend a book more. Even if you don’t like graphic novels, trust me, this is a great one.
