As one of my favourite books, I really loved the beautiful artwork in this graphic novel.
The ending was almost more impactful due to the imagery and I found myself enjoying the new experience considering this is my third re-read of this book.
The only negative I'd say is some things were cut out and used within the artwork, which took away from Jason Reynolds beautiful writing. If anyone wants to pick this up, I'd suggest they read the original book first or they'll be missing a big chunk of it.

Not my favourite art style, but I loved the words and feel this would be perfect for a younger person learning about the world.

A heartwarming story about a boy out to get revenge. Wasn't expecting the book to be as good.
5/5
Beautiful artwork, even in black and white on my Kobo. The story was heartbreaking and intense, and the prose was very poetic. A quick but impactful read. Wow!
I didn’t know that this is also a novel, but I thought this graphic novel adaptation was done extremely well.
A very important read about cyclical violence with an ending that will make your heart skip a beat. Read this graphic novel!
