A tremendous story deftly adapted and illustrated. *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2017* Octavia Butler's  Kindred  is one of a handful of "must-read" books. The story - of a young woman in 1976 California who is inexplicably transported back in time to 19th century Maryland to (repeatedly) save the life of her distant ancestor - is a powerful commentary on race, how the institution of slavery has impacted America in the present, and asks readers to consider hard, uncomfortable questions about who we as a nation are, who we want to be, and how should we remember and consider the past. I am overjoyed that this work is finally a graphic novel.As with any story that is translated into another medium, there are gems and important plot points that are lost. Among those in _Kindred_ is the inter-racial nature of the protagonist's marriage, and many of the details of how each experiences the 19th century given their race. Sometimes these omissions and editorial decisions get in the way of the story or its impact. In the case of the graphic novel adaptation, there is still plenty of gut-wrenching material and thought-provoking issues raised that the spirit of the story remains true to what Butler wrote.Jenning's artwork cleverly brings Duffy's adaptation to life - the variations of color and shading as well as the illustrations of the characters themselves don't distract from the story, and in many respects add to it (particularly in "The Fight" and the Epilogue). For readers unfamiliar with Butler's work, I cannot recommend _Kindred_ highly enough. For fans of graphic novels (or those who prefer this medium to the source text), the themes, message and plot remain close to the book, with little interference (and some graphic assistance), making this a recommended read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blew My Mind *by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2020* I read the novels years ago and it was intense because Butler dealt honestly about the nature of humanity and slavery, about misogyny and racism, and about United States history. This graphic novel takes the descriptions and feelings and puts them into the drawing and keeps the action going at a fast rate. It does not include everything in the novel but there is enough to cause most of us discomfort when reading and hopefully stir up interest in the topics to encourage people to do their own reading and take more classes on slavery in the USA. ### ⭐ This novel deserves better. *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2019* Kindred is an amazing, important, groundbreaking novel. This graphic adaptation is appallingly terrible and I'm mystified by the accolades it received. The artwork is so bad. Amateurishly, awkwardly drawn by someone who just doesn't know how to draw. With all the talented under-employed artists out there, why did this get published? Looks like a middle school student drew it. A novel this amazing deserves a better artist. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/38227179-kindred-a-graphic-novel-adaptation](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/38227179-kindred-a-graphic-novel-adaptation) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
