Crime and Punishment: A Graphic Novel by David Zane Mairowitz

4.0

Of course it isn't as good as the ever-so-excellent "regular" version, but it was fun to see Raskolnikov drawn out and wandering in his confusion.

I would recommend it to someone that has already read the unabridged classic already, lest the person feels they get the gist of the story, which would be a horrible thing to reduce Dostoevsky's prose to black and white panels with a general storyline.

What I didn't like about it was the modernization of it. As far as I know -- and I could be wrong -- there weren't phones, laptops, Sex Pistols and Scream (the movie) posters around when Fyodor penned the book. Again, I could be wrong. What an unfortunate eyesore they were on the walls in a few frames of the graphic novel.
