Reviews

[Iñaki Tofiño · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick read. Apart from a few twists (use of firearms, for instance), the book follows Sophocles plot very closely.

[Tanya Brodd · Rating 3 out of 5]

A graphic novel retelling of Antigone. It was good in that it was faithful to the themes of the story. But, there were some bizarre things like Antigone and Ismene kissing. Definitely not a kids' version.
