![]() ![]() It is not an easy subject, nor the pages set up for easy reading, but it is worth it. You need to read the illustrations as well as the text. There are color and slight style changes to show you “then” and “now” events. ![]() And even other colors are bold, but everything is not “all there” at the same time. The watercolor feeling makes everything bleed. It is artistic by being realistic and fantastical which really makes the book. The setting is not what you expect, the characters are not what you expect and yet, I did not think they would be any other way (Yes, a contradiction statement but true).Īnd the artwork was a plus. This is what makes a story of a gang shooting/death of a young person fresh and new. The way the character is going to/getting revenge, the way they are slowly building to a climax (that makes the information come to light, showing the foreshadowing), the way the other characters play a part in the mental aspect, made it worth the slow start. It was not until the main character seeks revenge did things get intriguing. ![]() (Semi-spoiler) even the death of one character was not grabbing. It started out oddly, slow, and frankly a tad uninteresting. ![]() I was not sure I was going to like the graphic novel version of Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds. ![]()
