3.5/5
This graphic biography recounts Beethoven's childhood and teenage years up to adulthood through well-executed illustrations.
I liked all the colors used in the illustrations, how his creativity is represented in the drawings.
It also portrays realistically the epoch, with some references to the major events of the time.

I hardly ever read graphic novels, and I was missing out. This one is a brilliant though sad story of Beethoven‘s early years, his struggles with his family, learning, and health. But also a tribute to his genius.
This is not a little kids‘ book, rather for teenagers and up.
