Review: Long Way Down: The Graphic Novel

Long Way Down: The Graphic Novel by Jason Reynolds
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Will’s brother, Shawn, was shot and killed while getting an item from the store for his mother.  Will thinks he knows who did it … Riggs.  He also knows the rules:

1.  No crying

2.      2.  No snitching

3.      3.. Revenge

Will is now on his way to Riggs’ place to take care of the third rule … revenge for his brother’s death.  As Will is going down the elevator, he is visited by others who have suffered the same fate has Shawn.

 

Long Way Down is the graphic novel adaptation of the novel in verse book.  This story reads even faster than the original and can be enjoyed by everyone whether they read the original or just this one.  The artwork gave some added depth to the story and I will say I loved this one as much as the original.  A great read, even if graphic novels are not your normal go-to book.
