📚 BOOK REVIEW 📚 I loved the character illustrations by #fredfordham. I enjoyed many things visually which I had not imagined earlier when I read the original by #harperlee The story focuses on getting the essence of the novel. I had fun reading this book in one sitting. 🖌 The characters of Atticus and Scout are portrayed in a very similarly strong tone like the original 🖌The original story has been told from Scout’s perspective but I had to keep that in mind while reading this one. 🖌Some important details like the explanation Atticus gives about why we should not kill a mockingbird and the attack on Scout at the end is very brief. I felt that was the important part of the story and needed more elaboration. 🖌I understand that the author cannot incorporate all the dialogues. But some which had stayed with me for long like ‘There’s only one type of folks. Folks’ and some other similar ones tend to be missing 🙁 🖌A person picking up the graphical novel without reading the original may miss on a few things, but will definitely get the theme the original book was trying to convey! There are multiple ways to enjoy a story and I am glad I picked up reading the graphical versions with a broad mind. I discovered a new way to appreciate the classics and revive the good old stories. In today’s fast forward world, this version will definitely be more relatable to the younger generation who want to know the gist of the story and I am glad this classic will be preserved for years to come! This is my third graphical adaptation book in this year! ✨ Check out my ‘Anne Frank’s Diary’ and ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ reviews too, if interested. I must say, I am loving this trend as it gives me a chance to re-read some of my favorite books! • • • • • #reviewer #graphicalnovels #bookster #bookclubs #graphical #bookstoread #bookclubofinstagram #tokillamockingbird #classicsbooks #whattoreadnext #bookishglee #booksofinstagram (at Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1XbplEgH8I/?igshid=19249krrpks84
