The truth is painful, but we need to read it. This is what I thought after I finished reading this book. March is not meant to be a fun, entertaining book, but rather a biography of Congressman John Lewis' life as he helped with the Civil Right's Movement. Yet, as far as biographies go this one is not boring. The flow is engaging and well done, while the story seems like a thriller which keeps the audience on their toes. There are times a reader may forget they are reading a nonfiction book, so the doses of reality may be shocking. 

The artwork is amazing. While the colors range between black and white, the expressions, authenticity in the moment, and amazing shading, do make me forget that the graphic novel is not done in full color.
