Listen, I love The Great Gatsby - however, this graphic novel didn't really do it for me..
The colors are not bright enough and the story is "cut" a little strange I think

I don't think I'm really a King fan... This book is WAY too long. For an academic purpose discussion author/fan ownership of art i'd be cool, but for recreational reading it wasn't for me.

The book was ~fine~
I enjoyed it well enough, but I really didn't find myself rushing to read it.

It wa very difficult to star-rate this book!
In some way it was a 5-star read, except it is SO VERY OLD and at times meandering - which I dislike. So here we are, at a 3-star rating.
