i read the original book but this helps me see everything exactly how i imagine This graphic novel is a page turner! Myyear old who despises reading, could not put the book down.Caught in the detailed illustrations and relevant storyline, he eagerly shared various details within the plot and how he experienced similar issues, Long Way Down is This one is complicated, I'm not necessarily saying this book is bad but I bought it for my matureyear old who loves graphic novels, He's not at all sheltered from real world issues, one of his favorite books is Maus, but he found this book upsetting and confusing, My students LOVED reading this book, It provoked such meaningful conversations, I bought this looking just another graphic novel that looked somewhat interesting, I was not prepared for how powerful this story hit me, It gave me a glimpse of a life that is beyond any of my experiences, I cant describe the story without giving away spoilers, but More suited for YAs young adults, The price is decent. The story was not what i expected, Great version of an already brilliant book Love the book but my book sleeve was damaged from the shipping :
