As you can tell from the speed read comparison, I much preferred this adaptation of the novel to the original I just finished yesterday.
Graphic Novels hold a special place in my heart, so I tend to have a hint of bias towards them anyway, but this modern twist on the story felt so right.

I still hold my ground that Jo will always be a trans man in my mind, but I also respect and enjoyed the narrative she was given in this novel, and the way it was tied together at the end.

I loved the way that characters who saw little development in the original were used, the use of current affairs and societal issues, the changes to the original plot and the clear meanings of those changes, and the designs of all the characters in general!
It found a perfect foothold between important societal discussions of our world now, and reflecting and connecting with the world of Alcott's original writing.

This is definitely a version of the classic that I will be keeping in my class, along with a copy of the original, and likely a lighter/shorter version for an easier read option.
