1984: The Graphic Novel by
5.0
NetGalley and the publisher, Palazzo Editions and Kontrast, provided me with a review copy.
1984: The Graphic Novel is another graphic novel adaptation of George Orwell's 1949 classic.
The adaptation is done quite well. It's a text-heavy graphic novel, with pages and pages of the book-within-a-book placed straight on the pages, with illustrations in the margins. Even these pages, which are three-quarters text, have great illustrations. The rest of the graphic novel is superbly illustrated. There are multiple pages of sheer brilliance, and even the pages that lack the most are still well done.
The adaptation does start a bit slow, but so does the novel itself, but once things get rolling, between the plot that Orwell laid out and the art Namai added, I couldn't stop myself.
Fantastic adaptation.
