Somewhat of an amateurish effort

I read the book Kim as a teenager and have seen the movies, and so I am familiar with Kipling and the story Kim.

This effort fails to really capture the spirit of the story. The artwork is okay, certainly not great. The real problem is the prose, which is written more like an illustrated book than a graphic novel... e.g. the text describing what is happening in the frame. In the end, it reads like someone recounting the story of Kim, and not actually telling or showing the story. The story is largely true to the story, but edited down, and I suspect some of the less politically correct aspects of the original have been smoothed over or removed.

I had hoped to give this to or read it with my children, but I think I would prefer to just get a copy of the original and read that to them instead.

Cartoon version of Kim

This version of Kim is actually a truncated one, turned from the original into a comic book. It's not bad for a comic book version, but the information about it should tell you this and not waste your time if you don't like the genre. I much prefer the original.

KIm is just as wonderful decades later

I have always loved Kim. Decades later, I reread it recently and listened to the disk at night. This time I looked up the geography mentioned. I had no idea the characters walked that far. I googled the Trunk Road. Fascinating. A CIA director spook died with it next to his bed. A well thumbed print. An old fan

Ordered this by mistake thinking it was a READABLE edition.

Even though I ordered this in error, I would not recommend it . Infantile version, very poorly done. Not a way to introduce child or anyone else to Kipling.

Excellent redition in comic book form.

The story of Kim is here in comic book form for folks who like the "funnies". The politics are lagging but the essence is included. Reminds me of some of the TM manuals in the military. This could entice younger readers.
