The Great Gatsby adapted by K. Woodman-Maynard is a great way to make The Great Gatsby more accessible in a YA graphic novel format. I enjoyed the slight changes the author makes to the source material, and the art style makes elements such as mood and symbolism much easier to understand.

I especially enjoyed the writing style and descriptions of music. I would definitely recommend this book for the holiday season, even if you are unfamiliar with the two original stories.

There is also some beautiful writing in this book, and I would definitely recommend it. Continue reading →
