This graphic novel has been on my list to read for a long time now. Frank Miller is one of my favorite graphic novel authors and I knew I couldn't go wrong. 300 is by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, it's about a somewhat impossible battle between the Spartans and Persians. Most negative reviews on this book are about the historical inaccuracies, but remember, this is a fictional story and it's meant to entertain you, but in history, Spartans were badass warriors who trained from childhood how to battle. If you are hoping that this is like the movie directed Zack Snyder (the man who destroyed Watchmen), well it's almost the same except the political drama that takes place while the 300 Spartans are fighting doesn't happen in the book, actually the queen of Sparta is only shown like once and that happens in the first couple pages. The story was very intriguing and I read the whole graphic novel in one sitting (it's about a 1-2 hour read if you're a slow reader like me). It actually went by really quick and in my opinion could of done more, because I just wanted to keep reading. The artwork was pretty good throughout the book and really emphasized the action. In my opinion this was a good read and I would recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the movie or any graphic novel fan. You shouldn't be let down because Frank Miller tries his best for that not to happen. Thanks for reading and please follow the blog.
