Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation Hardcover – Illustrated, October 2, 2018

The critics who assail this book as "pornographic" don't know what they're talking about. They take the more sensitive adult stuff out of context and even misunderstand Anne's more intimate thoughts and those thoughts' portrayal in this book. (For example, she wasn't "a lesbian"- she was mostly straight, as the book's discussion of past people she loved or had crushes on shows.) The artwork beautifully illustrated Anne's thoughts and feelings and ideas on a variety of topics, including the one about the "two Annes", a look at Anne's story "Cady's Life", and that time they had to eat endive all the time.I admit I was disappointed not to see the "S.P.V. (if you please) gas" sign on the toilet door or van Pels (van Daan)'s stork joke in there, though.But overall, well done! (Recommended for age 12-13 and up.)

my daughter loves to read graphic novels and wanted her to read a classic!

I actually bought this for my niece for Christmas this year, but when it arrived I just briefly glanced through it and I must say it’s a very beautifully done graphic novel of Anne Frank’s Diary. Today, graphic novels are becoming more and more popular with kids and I thought this would be better for her instead of the classical book because she loves art and manga. I was skeptical because I never want to disrespect or lighten certain subjects because this is history and it’s important. I am happy that this gives young people a new way to read Anne Frank’s story as well as learn about the Holocaust in terms they can understand.

Such a good adaptation. Anne Frank's book made me so happier to read the story because it is so depressing that we know she would die after she was captured. It makes go into more detail on Anne Frank was feeling while hiding.I hope people read this book.

This was one on my banned books reading list. The graphics are amazing and the author's interpretation of Anne's story was highly memorable. I can see why this book was banned, as the ending is definitely a shocking surprise. But as far as banned books go, this was a good purchase and I would highly recommend this book for a teenager.

This book had a very good and recognizable art style

Wonderful illustrations and easy to read. The reader gets to interpret the illustrations as the story progress. It’s really a beautiful book — to read, to have and to keep.

If you think this book is for young children you are wrong. This book is about the attempted genocide of a race, a culture of people. The girl who lived and died during that time. This book contains her thoughts and feelings in the time leading to her death.Many people think that this book is different then the one they read as a child. They would be right. When first published Ann's father edited her journal for publication. He took out items he thought were too private to share.Some time around the year 2000 the society that holds the copyright and her original journal in trust, published the unredacted version. It is one of the books every person should read at least once in their lives so that the horror she witnessed is never forgotten.If your young child is mature enough, be prepared to have hard conversations.
