Quixote Novel

Rating:
Summary: Stunned.
Review: 'Quixote' is by far the best read I have ever laid eyes on. (NO JOKE!). Word of warning-make time to read this in one sitting. Between Oeming's film noir art (which, in my mind at least reminded me of the old Zorro serials) and Glass' manipulation of the English language/current social climate, its EXTREMELY hard to put down.

What makes the book perfet is that you do not need to know a single shred of the original 'Don Quixote' in order to enjoy the book. One of the best 'supporting' characters (Mackie) has quite a funny way of explaining it to the reader (and ironically looks a bit like 'Kabuki' creator David Mack). You will laugh,cry,and most importantly-reevaluate your opinions of society.

If you do not read this, you are truely missing out how the term 'graphic novel' is now defined. If the Eisner comittee does not at the LEAST give a nomination to this book, the industry should be ashamed of itself.
