Retelling of Verne Classic Undercut by Artwork!,
By
This review is from: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Illustrated Classics) (Paperback)
Jules Verne's classic tale of underwater adventure joins the ranks of Saddleback 'Illustrated Classics' in this 2006 release. Few other novels offer artistic possibilities as great as 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA. Unfortunately, Saddleback's artwork is the book's weakest link.
Intended to introduce young readers to classic novels, the Saddleback volumes I've reviewed have varied from fair to poor. Their version of 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA does a fair job of condensing the novel down to 56 pages. A little more pruning was probably called for since some strips are overflowing with dialogue. A bigger problem though is the book's artwork. It's poorly done and often amateurish. I don't know if it will entice younger readers into wanting to read the original. And $9.95 seems a bit much price-wise. I'd rate this an optional purchase. There are better versions of this book available. Check out the 'Classic Starts' series from Sterling.
