A review by tabatha_shipley
Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds
5.0
I listened to the audiobook and then I read the beautiful graphic novel.
What I Did Like:
+Lyrical and beautiful. The audiobook is also narrated by the author, which lends and air of spoken word poetry to the entire thing. It’s captivating.
+Powerful message implied without hitting you upside the head with it. It’s there and it resonates. The note from the author at the end of the audiobook is also worth a read to really bring it home.
+The graphic novel captures the poetry beautifully. The artwork is perfect. Really, this just proves any format of this one is worth the time.
Who Should Read This One:
-Fans of powerful contemporary stories that pack a lesson in short, beautiful language.
-Poetry or spoken word fans will also like this one (for spoken word check out the audiobook).
My Rating: 5 Stars
This one is super powerful and recommended in any format for contemporary or poetry fans.
