[Leslie Carnahan · Rating 3 out of 5]

A classic but in graphic novel/comic form.

I think I was too young when I first attempted this book at 16. I kept getting bored at the descriptions of the imagery of the docks and such and could not let my mind grasp the imagery enough. I need to read this book at some point in my life I think.
