The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation

This book is an excellent account of the happenings surrounding the events of Sept 11th. When I mention this book to others, I run into skepticism that a "comic book" can do any justice or give respect to that day, but this book does exactly that. I would never read the dry, no picture report put out by the commission, and feel this book is a "must read" for all.

This is a masterfully created graphic novel, with diagrams and artwork that clarify a complicated and tragic series of incidents. The reader is able to get a number of fresh perspectives that increase his/her understanding of all that went into these attacks. The artwork is both beautiful and compelling, helping to make this book the fascinating read that it is. Highly recommended.

Through a series of hand drawn panels accompanied by real or imagined dialogue/explanatory text, this graphic adaption of the 9/11 report
is the best synopsis of what happened that day as well as the months before and days after.

No one other than a scholar will read the original 9/11 report so this graphic "non fiction novel" is your best chance to comprehend it and be
able to understand it and speak lucidly to others about it.

The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation is perfect for anyone who wants to be educated and informed about the events that led to, and occured after the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Even if you have already read the original report, the pictures in this version bring home the very essence of what we collectively experienced that bright blue morning and the days leading up to it and after. Nicely paced, and well thought out, even children will come to understand better what 9/11 means.

Utterly faithful to the 9/11 Commission Report, the authors have created a most accessible and comprehensive rendering with text and art that transcend the genre of "comic book". Their work does great service to the work of the 9/11 Commission and to the people who experienced that day in New York, in Pennsylvania, in Washington D.C., in the skies and around the world. The hardback will become a keepsake for generations.
