If I were to teach high school humanities again, I would replace our textbook readings with Clester s adaptation of The Prince in a heartbeat not as a parallel text for reluctant or struggling readers, but as the core text for students at all reading levels to get a first exposure to Machiavelli s ideas. (August 5, 2011) Dr. Sean Kottke; Dean, Binda School of Education, The Robert B. Miller College With thoughtful illustrations and intuitive insight, Clester does indeed and brilliantly so translate Machiavelli's advice for modern readers. A clear master of the comic book format, Clester's graphic novel breathes new life into a once seemingly out of date or somewhat dry text. Complete with verbal and visual lessons that explain the nuances between what a young leader should or should not do, or, better yet, appear to do or not do, this graphic novel earns an A+. -Katie Monnin, PhD, assistant professor of literacy, University of North Florida, Diamond Bookshelf, 9/12/11
