A review by theboricuabookworm
Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds

challenging dark emotional reflective tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

5.0

I read the graphic novel of this a few months ago, so I knew the premise but the expanded poetry was incredible. Reynolds’s voice is both vulnerable and sure of itself, gut wrenching and cathartic. A book on teenager-hood, brotherhood, and growing up in the hood that should be required reading for all.
