COMMUNITY REVIEWS

better than Cliff's Notes! submitted by camelsamba on June 22, 2015, 3:55pm I managed to make it nearly to the age of 50 without having read or seen The Merchant of Venice. This graphic novel adaptation served as a good introduction - probably better than reading Cliff's Notes (is that even a thing any more?). I was frequently surprised by lines and sayings that I was familiar with, but didn't know came from this tale.

While I usually like Gareth Hinds' style, this was not my favorite. The coloring is rather drab.
