A review by bybookandbone
Welcome to the New World by Jake Halpern

challenging hopeful informative reflective slow-paced

3.0

The later portion/last two chapters of this graphic novel are very good but unfortunately over all it's quite middling. 
Despite this being a true story and real people, it felt as though we were held at arms length from 2D characters. It's an odd experience. 

I think that a lot of this is to do with it being written by a journalist. The graphic novel format just didn't work for the most part. 
Having said that, it's not bad and has good moments. The illustrations are great too.
