A review by nhborg
Don Quixote Volume One by Miguel de Cervantes, Rob Davis
4.0
This was a great adaptation! Rob Davis’ illustrations were fresh and lively, and I’m impressed by how he’s managed to condense the novel and implement all the highlights from part 1, making the story both accessible and visually pleasing for modern readers. He’d used some clever artsy tricks to emphasize the mini stories and Cervante’s author commentary, which could sometimes be somewhat confusing when reading the full-text version.
I still find value in having read the original novel; it allowed me to spend more time in Don Quixote’s crazy, yet admirable, universe, and I also feel increased fondness of the scenes from having read them in full. Nevertheless, I’ll definitely recommend this as a great alternative to anyone who’d like to familiarize themselves with literature’s most famous knight errant!
Looking forward to reading the second volume soon:)
