A review by morgob
The Odyssey by Gareth Hinds

4.0

I had my students read a book of this and a book of the original, then they had to write an argument either supporting the use of graphic novels to teach classics or supporting that graphic novels cannot do justice to the original. After reading the whole graphic novel, I am inclined to believe the latter. It was simply not as good as the original. Maybe it would have been better if I had not read the original already, albeit years ago. I would definitely support teachers using graphic novels to teach classics, but if any of the students have read the original before, they might be disappointed.
