Book Reviews of The Metamorphosis
Book Review: Peter Kuper + Frank Kafka = Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm familiar with Franz Kafka's novels and stories and I can say that they were great. Just as Peter Kuper added an amazing contextual, visual, and more humanly relatable touch to Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" his work on Frank Kafka's short stories is just as great. The visual element doesn't denigrate, degrade, or cheapen the quality of the material, as one would generalize that adapting classic literature to graphic novel form would; instead it elevates it to the level of making the stories more relatable, presentable, and available to those who wouldn't normally pick up a novel, but just may get interested in doing so afterwards, similar to my response to history books after reading Howard Zinn's "A People's History of American Empire" (the graphic novel adaptation of his history text "A People's History of the United States"; which I'm now sucked into.).
