Book evaluation

I liked this book, it was a classic in the form of a comic book. It makes it more approachable and i may get the original novel an read it now that i'm introduced to it. I feel the pacing was slow enough to feel all the breathtaking surroundings and makes the world feel alive. But the pacing was still fast enough to keep my attention. The ending was interesting and could be seen in two different ways.
