review:

'Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles (Dover Graphic Novel Classics)' takes me back to the classic comics of my youth. It's a pretty good adaptation.



Certainly, the nuances of a story are lost in such a distilled form, but John Green's adaptation does a good job of hitting on the main point. The book is drawn in black and white, so as to also double as a coloring book. The art has thick lines and there were quite a few times when I wanted to break out the colored pencils and start adding color to the pages.



It's only 48 pages long, but it's also less than five bucks. I think it's worth it to introduce younger readers to classic stories. This one might not hold the interest of some kids, but I was a big Sherlock Holmes fan when I was about 10 and Mr. Holmes is still quite popular in TV and films.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dover Publications and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
