A review by andydost
Howl by Allen Ginsberg, Eric Drooker

2.0

All due respect to the poem encased in this book. My critique comes from the book as a whole.

Images in this graphic novel were quite literal in their adherence to the words of the poem. So much so that I think my wandering brain suffered for that. The changes from page to page jarred me, especially in Part I.

"Howl" is a better read without pictures at this point.

The final part, the epilogue, nixes my critique with a good mix of imagery that doesn't take the reader out of the poem. (Seriously, the ending images alone should get this review an extra star. Oh, well.)
