February 7, 2019 Don Quixote A Graphic Novel
Don Quixote is a classic and like most classics, it teaches things that are true today just like they were at the time it was written. The book Don Quixote appeals to the reader. From the humor to the the seriousness, the storyline is clear and the book doesn’t jump from point to point.
Don Quixote teaches you from the real to the ideal and to not hide behind an illusion like social media, Señor Quesada did the same thing in the book. When I started reading the book it was a little bland but as I went on it got better and the reader understands it more. That’s when you start to love the book for its storyline. You get sucked in to the adventure and cannot put it down.
I feel the book really inspires you to be compassionate and to not always hide who you are. It also teaches you to get out and to follow your dreams.

On my list to read one graphic book in 2015. Started and finished today. Quite silly. That's 45 minutes I'll never get back! Sorry, but I feel graphic novels are a complete waste of time.
