Review: Sense and Sensibility the Graphic Edition

Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility told in graphic novel form - the story of two sisters and the differences between their manner of conduct. One is a drama queen and one is reserved. Which is better?

My Thoughts: I liked this much better than the Pride and Prejudice one. The pictures were different - less low cut dresses and more caricature faces. Plus I love Marianne's antics. In the beginning it was hard to tell the people apart - but that quickly changed. I great way to introduce young readers to Jane Austen. I do hope they do the other Austen novels

Cover Thoughts: I love how they're reading together and the playful pictures at the bottom.

Quick Review: graphic novel Lightning Thief

My Thoughts: A nice retelling of the Lightning Thief - a great way to quickly refamiliarize yourself the story.

Art: I wasn't crazy about the art with the exceptions of the special effects. I think it's a personal choice. The characters aren't how I imagined - and it's hard for me to adjust. I think it's a great read for anyone interested in this series.
