Jane Eyre (Classics Illustrated)

Very beautifully illustrated reprint of claasic senior comic.

Fine

It was a gift

I ordered Jane Eyre for a reluctant young reader, hoping the story line would spark interest the way Classics Illustrated (in comic book format) did during my childhood many years ago. I don’t recall the vocabulary presenting an issue. I think the diction would be a challenge unless the reader is quite precocious. On a positive note, the illustrations werecompelling.

I was a bit disappointed in the illustrations for two reasons. First, they are not the ones I remember from the original. Second, they are very much based on the old Welles/Fontaine movie--a version which was OK as these things go, but not the greatest intrpretation. The captions do follow the story fairly well.

Hatte mir den Comic gekauft um einen kurzen Einblick vorne weg in die Story zu bekommen. Sehr knapp aber informativ gehalten, auch der Zeichenstil war nicht so schön, aber um einen solchen Text zu verknappen und (vllt auch weniger daran interessiertem Publikum) näher zu bringen wirklich gut.

very good

I'd have given it five stars, if it wouldn't have been a little too expensive.
