I know I enjoyed this original text. I just didn't really like this graphic novel adaptation. I found it hard to follow. Unlike most graphic novels that add understanding to the plot- I was more confused because the story lacked context. ( )

Most novels which have been adapted into graphic novels tend to leave one slightly wanting, but this one made an admirable (and more successful) attempt compared to most. From the tone of the introduction, Bradbury had a strong guiding hand during its creation, so the story still sounds distinctly like him. Obviously some of the detail and complexity did not manage to make the translation, but our fireman is still a confused and jarring character within an artificially adapted world. I wasn't 100% on board with Tim Hamilton's artwork, since hte novel almost demands a stark minimalism, both from the forced simplicity of the tv-dominated life Guy lives and the film noire-esquce capers of his desperate escape, but he does do a great job overall from a traditional comic book viewpoint. It would be nice if the graphic novel companies actually bothered to invest in both their artists and writers, though, so that the two could create more atuned pieces of literature. ( )

This was a great way to read Fahrenheit 451 in a different and unique way. I believe that the original book is much better and there is more to the storyline but this graphic novel reminded me of the most important points overall. ( )

This graphic novel does the book complete justice. Amazing book to read and was amazing book to look at. ( )

I read the book by Ray Bradbury years ago. This adaptation that I found in a graphic novel is fabulous. In a darkly beautiful way that follows the original text, I finally have an image that brings to life everything I imagined nearly 20 years ago when I read the book for the first time.
