verkiezen 's review for:

Boxers by Gene Luen Yang
5.0

Boxers (with the companion novel Saints) tells the story of the Boxer Rebellion in China. It's incredibly moving and Yang nails the art as usual. I finished this story in about half an hour, and it made me want to investigate the real story behind the text even more. I know very little of Chinese history, so this little glimpse made me want to delve in. I think this graphic novel would be perfect for people who enjoy history (maybe even an English or History class!).
