A beautiful adaptation of one of the most important books ever.
I had my reservations about reading a graphic novel adaptation of Anne Frank's diary (how could that even be done?), but I had just recently seen Ari Folman's animated film, 'Where Is Anne Frank', and I wanted to look up his other work, which happened to include 'Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation', published a few years earlier. I'm pleased that they have a similar drawing style.Like the film, this was conceived and executed tastefully and respectfully, managing to capture the spirit of young Anne's mind, heart, life, humanity, whole person, introspections, history, and time in WWII.
Talk about art imitating life.
The artwork is lovely, soft, expressive and suitable. The style and format are wonderful and creative.
As it turns out, the world's most famous diary can be told this way; 149 pages is just enough.
'Anne Frank's Diary (The Diary of a Young Girl)' - Always heartbreaking, always touching.
Always to be remembered, no matter what.
Read my review of the original diary for more.
Final Score: 4.5/5
