sumayyaha's review against another edition
4.0
I want to disclaim this by saying: I do not rate biographies/autobiographies because they are someone's life and you can't give that a rating. However, I will rate the writing/art.
I thought this told the life and experiences of George Takei along with other Japanese Americans quite well, it was pretty comprehensive. Sometimes the narrative switched to current him and then went back to his younger self and I appreciate the way the he was looking back on his experiences rather than telling it as a child would. Although for this same reason I don't think it would be as easy to understand for younger audiences. The art was also a well balanced depiction for his life.
I don't normally review graphic novels so I hope this review is fine :)

George Takei is such an incredible human being 🥺 this graphic novel memoir is done so well. It’s a must-read for every American. Should def be taught in history class
