Sweeney Todd The Graphic Novel: Original Text (British English)

Where do I start, well I suppose the best place is to start by praising the artwork for something that is not computer generated this is hand drawn remember, the pictures are vivid and clear it really brings the story to life not sure how close to actual events the story is as I am not to clear on the truth some debate if the events did happen that I can not comment on as there has been a lot of previous stories on the subject, what i can tell you is if you like graphic novels and a damn good story then you can not go wrong by owning this.

Absolutely fantastic. I really loved this graphic novel. The pictures are great. I couldn't stop reading it. Being such a simple and classic story, it was the best read I've had in ages. I wish it never ended.

I liked it very much.Graphics are very nice.I gave 1 star less just because I found original text a bit boring at times.There is a choice regarding text and my next copy will be of Quick one ;)

A true story, or not? You will have to make your own mind up about that, but with such a grippinlgy retold version, does it matter? The narrative flows smoothly, greatly aided by the artwork which manages to convey the atmosphere without being at all gory. Basically sepia, which is perfect for Victorian London, the flashes of red lift the pictures and make key points stand out. All the period detail is accurate too. From his barber shop in Fleet Street, Sweeney Todd, the Fleet Street barber targets customers and murders them to steal their money and valuables. People are suspicious, but nobody knows how he does it. What happens to the bodies? Is there a connection with the nearby pie shop? Suspicious friends of those who have disappeared investigate. Ideal to support the curriculum for Victorian Gothic horror; for KS3 history; but equally of appeal to the general market.
