Plot or Character Driven:
Character

Yes
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
No crying, no snitching, and get revenge. Three rules you must follow when your brother is shot dead.
Will's sadness takes him on an adventure while following these three rules. Will isn't the only one who knows these rules.
The watercolor artwork in this book is gorgeous. It really helped me to understand what was going on in this book. I found the narrative portion of this book hard to follow. It was very vague. There were many new characters introduced every few pages and I found it hard to follow along with who was who and what their story/relation was to Will. I think this may have been more enjoyable had I read the book prior to the graphic novel.
