I tried reading the original version for book club, but I just couldn't get past the old sentence structure and vocabulary. I figured a graphic novel and adaptation for children would be quick enough to finish before book club - and I was right, I finished this one in about 15 minutes.
From what I read of the beginning of the classic, this book is very similar. It does feel much more rushed and all over the place - I think it could have been really good if it were longer. I thought some of the illustrations could have been more expressive. Overall, I think I have a good enough sense of the original story to talk about at book club, but this is definitely not a good to do instead the classic for a course
