Long Way Down: The Graphic Novel

Read for my “Issues of Diversity in Youth Literature” class.

Obviously, to say I “enjoyed” this book would be inaccurate, as it is heartbreaking, and not in that good way, like “oh, my favorite character died but they did so in a way that was for the greater good, such a noble sacrifice, this book destroyed me, you have to read it.” It's not like that at all, except in the fact that you definitely have to read it.

But I'm glad I read this book. It was powerful, and devastating, and beautifully written, and I will certainly be checking out more books by Jason Reynolds soon. 5/5 stars
