Membaca novel grafis memang tak selengkap membaca novel full tulisan. Namun, novel grafis biasanya menggambarkan bagaimana reaksi atau ekspresi tokoh dengan seharusnya. Sayangnya, aku tak menemukan itu di sini. Aku belum pernah membaca Kim, jadi beberapa hal aku bingung, kenapa ekspresi beberapa tokoh dengan ucapannya berbeda? Cukup bintang tiga. Habis ini mau baca novelnya saja. ^^

I read the novel "Kim" on a Kindle, and I felt that the vibrancy of the story was lost in the dullness of the device. This is a much nicer way to read the story. Sure, it loses some of the detail, but the artwork is lovely. I read the novel "Kim" on a Kindle, and I felt that the vibrancy of the story was lost in the dullness of the device.

Beautiful illustrations make this graphic novel a page-turner read. The author's creative narration adds various dimensions to the story. An engaging book.

Graphic re-production of this classic 1890's English novel is a boon for lesser mortals like me, the style of Kipling being a bit difficult in the fiction novel. The pictures also attempts to capture the vision of India (Lahore) as the author might have truly imagined, making one visualize British India 100+ years ago. A recommended read!

I have never read the full book, just this graphic novel version; the graphic novel made me want to read the classic. I've enjoyed what I've read of Kipling's classics (particularly Stalky & Co. and Puck of Pook's Hill); would I like this, too?

This wasn't one of Kipling's strongest stories. In fact, I found it rather boring. This wasn't one of Kipling's strongest stories. In fact, I found it rather boring.
