The Iliad: A Graphic Novel: Homer's exciting ancient Greek myth told in pacy full-colour graphic novel form for YA readers

Superbly well done and very giftable for the right audience. It's not as entertaining as the Odyssey but if you're into Greek mythology enough to be interested in the Iliad, this graphic novel won't disappoint!

Schöne Literatur, gefällt mir gut

è piaciuto moltissimo a mio nipote

This graphic novel is an excellent introduction for all readers, adults and children alike, to classical literature. Gareth Hinds' adaptation of Homer's 'The Iliad' is thorough but does not overcomplicate the story for young readers. Another review criticized Hinds' work as being "word heavy", but although there is indeed alot of writing on most pages, the words compliment the illustrations, they do not detract from them. The drawings and the prose fit together like a hand in a glove. It is great value for money at approximately 250 fully illustrated pages, with the illustrations capturing the drama of the story very accurately. It takes great skill to retell the story for it to be both engaging for younger readers but detailed enough for teens or adults to enjoy. Overall, I highly recommend this graphic novel as Hinds' has made both 'The Iliad', and his other adaptation of Homer's work, 'The Odyssey', very accessible to a wide range of reading abilities.
