4/5 Stars

I really enjoyed this. It talked about a lot of heavy topics. However, the reason why it got only a 4 is because of the ending. I didn't like how it didn't wrap anything up, and it just made me like the book even less. The writing was beautiful. The art is gorgeous.

I feel like this book hits even more in the graphic novel format, simply because of how well done it is. I read this book for the first time because I was preparing to read The Hate U Give and was wondering what book were getting recommended. Long Way Down the book is wonderful, so is this adaptation and it is a very fast read, so just go and read it.
