Long Way Down 🛗 Review
‘People always love people more when they’re dead’ - Jason Reynolds 💀
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 Stars
A powerful novel in verse. The favourite so far actually. Reynolds has such a way with words. I was captivated and read this in one sitting. 👀
The use of verse really suits this concept. The cycle of violence.
Will is grieving the murder of his brother. Over 240 pages we travel in the elevator with him, 7 floors. Will holds a gun to avenge his brother’s death. On those floors, we meet 6 people from his past. Will is following the rules he has been taught, but can the cycle be stopped before he reaches the ground floor? 🔫
I really enjoyed Jason’s afterword at the end of the audiobook. It provided personal experience and truly hammered home how important stories like this are. Beautiful book. 👍🏻
