Absolutely terrible if you are adult. It's banal and predictable with stuff you have seen a million times before. And the English feels so dated I had a hard time understanding everything. A comic book version would solve much of this. There is really no reason to read the book. If you do you'll understand the overview yet not the details. And only because we all know the story already.
I don't see how one should pick this over any visual version or even a version with modern English? It's just not good enough for me to work this hard. But frankly it's probably not ideal for adults.
