A review by pomochi
Complete Alice in Wonderland by Leah Moore, John Reppion, Lewis Carroll
4.0
4.5 stars.
I love Alice in Wonderland. I love nonsensical, crazy things. This graphic novel adaptation did not disappoint. This adaptation stayed very true to the original story which I really appreciated. I liked how the pictures were used as an enhancement of the original story rather than a way to change the plot.
The art style is absolutely beautiful. It gave off a very Japanese/manga feel which I loved. When I first started reading, I was slightly startled by the darkness of the drawings because it gave off a quite sinister feel. However, I very quickly grew to love the art because I love art in general and the darker palette was absolutely enchanting to look at.
Overall, I definitely recommend this adaptation whether you are revisiting this tale or if it is your first time! It was very easy to read, was true to the original story, and the drawings enhanced the reading experience tremendously.
