My dad gave my kids this book for Christmas and I ended up reading it myself. I had to get used to it being a comic at first and it is very interesting. I can't wait for the next 2 books. As then it will all probably make a lot of sense.
It is a little strange that the writer portraits himself in the comic book. So you are reading a story that someone is telling. Which in my head is a bit of a twister until you get used to it. If it is targeted to kids it probably would be easier to read if the comic book is just reflecting the story. I hope this makes sense. But I enjoyed the book and am waiting for the next issues.

Review
[A] wonderful graphic novel... Smart, funny and dipped deep in the reality of what we as a species are... Crammed with the details that made made the original so jaw-dropping and essential. ― Big Issue *Books of the Year*
The best-selling book by Yuval Noah Harari has been beautifully adapted into a graphic novel just in time for Christmas. The story of humankind is told through the delicate illustrations, bringing science and history together to help us understand how Homo sapiens came to inhabit the Earth. -- Amy Barrett ― BBC Science Focus Magazine
In case there's any household in the nation that doesn't yet own a copy of Yuval Noah Harari's zillion-selling Sapiens...there's now a zippy new digest of the book in comics form... An imaginative and prankish gallop through human prehistory. ― Spectator
Bringing that fascinating story of our collective history to life in an entirely new way... [Sapiens Graphic Novel is] action-packed... Brilliantly funny. -- Jenny Brewer ― It's Nice That
Lively, engaging... Transforms humanity's complex evolutionary story into something accessible enough for anyone to enjoy. ― BBC History Magazine
Shortly before the pandemic, I read Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. It's not an exaggeration to say I've thought of it every day since. -- Curtis Sittenfeld ― Guardian
[Sapiens] has been one of the most spectacular publishing successes of the past decade. -- Killian Fox ― Observer
Harari's out-of-the-box thinking is arguably his greatest strength... These theories are what moves history forward, and what makes the book so engaging for an astonishing number of people. -- Katherine Prentice ― Glasgow Guardian
Sapiens is an epic history of humankind, at once readable and wise and compelling and thought-provoking... A breath of fresh air. ― Bookmunch
Perfect for younger readers... [and] filled with lively characters. ― History Revealed

About the Author
Prof Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. Sapiens- A Brief History of Humankind has become an international phenomenon attracting a legion of fans from Bill Gates and Barack Obama to Chris Evans and Jarvis Cocker, and is published in sixty languages worldwide. It was a Sunday Times Number One bestseller and was in the Top Ten for over nine months in paperback. His follow-up to Sapiens, Homo Deus- A Brief History of Tomorrow was also a Top Ten Bestseller and was described by the Guardian as 'even more readable, even more important, than his excellent Sapiens'. 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, was a Number One Bestseller and was described by Bill Gates as 'fascinating' and 'crucial'. Harari worked closely with renowned comics illustrator Daniel Casanave and co-writer David Vandermeulen to create his latest book, an adaptation of his first bestseller, Sapiens Graphic Novel- Volume 1.

I absolutely LOVE this book. After rereading the first chapter in the original book several times over, I gave up because I wasn't absorbing the information. This "comic" version of the book is beyond amazing. Even my 10 year old loves it and I already know we will love it for years to come!

Beautiful Book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2020Verified Purchase
This book is stunning! A huge amount of work has gone into illustrating the stories and lessons from the original book (which is one of my all-time favourite books). It says volume 1, so hopefully this means more volumes will be published in the future (and I will definitely be purchasing them).

Good for visual learners but be warned
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2021Verified Purchase
Haven't read the original book but this is shot through with pointed and not so subtle political commentary (American Democrat style woke-ism) which undermines the scientific explanations. Refusing to explore alternative explanations or theories because they are uncomfortable is a disservice to science. See if your local library has it. If you find it useful then go ahead and purchase a copy.
I returned the book partially read. Science is meant to be objective, not used for political purposes. That's when it becomes ideology.

I got it two days ago. Finished tonight. What a captivating graphic way of presenting sapiens history. This is how primary history school books should look like. Looking forward for Vol2.

The write up mentioned illustrations but disappointed to find that this is 100% illustrated, reminiscent of a comic book.

Having read Home Sapiens and Homo Deus, I've been anxiously awaiting this book. My children love this and they've learned so much about human history whole having fun doing so.
The pictures are beautiful and the knowledge is easy to consume in this form. I can't wait for chapter 2!
