This is a great graphic novel treatment of the story. It includes all the really important elements. I did have a little trouble identifying characters who looked similar to other characters.

Worth noting, there is a fair bit of death and violence in this book. It's not gory, but it's there.

My kids actually read this one ages ago. My son bought it after reading the first 5 books (which were my daughter's, though she hadn't read them). This is what got said daughter to read the first book (sparking a love of the world).
