A review by clairewrobel
Tiananmen 1989: Our Shattered Hopes by Adrien Gombeaud, Lun Zhang

2.0

I am very interested in Chinese culture and Chinese history, so I thought I would love this book. I did not. I think too much information was thrown at the reader at once, so names and dates and places blurred together so much that it was really hard to stay interested in reading the story. If this had been done more in the style of Banned Book Club by Kim Hyun Sook it definitely would have been more successful in my opinion. I also thought the actual text was super hard to read in a physical way--too small and the all caps (while I know is common in graphic novels) were not the right font to make this easy for your eyes.
