Young adult dyslexics are, by and large, smart, sophisticated, and interested students who want to enjoy literature. During and after their training, reading literature is essential to their needs. This particular graphic novel, Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, held the interest of the young man for whom I purchased it. Mine, too. The essential vocabulary and dialogue was challenging, but very doable because of the narration and the speech "balloons" that accompany graphic novels. The drawings were enjoyed by the student, but had to be studied by me in order to sometimes determine just what I was looking at. The only drawback, I might add. With 50 years separating my student and me, I was the one disadvantaged by the "modern" look to the drawings. He had no problems. Very enjoyable; led to interesting discussions on the good vs evil in all of us. Not the first graphic novel we've done together and not the last. Want to fill in the gap of some of the classic works that you've never gotten to or have long ago forgotten? Try the graphic novels.
