![]() ![]() The water color drawings with the defining of the black ink were absolutely beautiful and I feel like the images I had in my mind the first time I read Long Way Down were captured so well in this adaption. The graphic novel adaptation was so good and I'm happy about the way it turned out. This is all about empathy and how we shouldn't force labels on people especially youth. We don't necessarily know whether will goes through with it or not. I love that Reynolds leaves the ending as a mystery. When Will attempts to get revenge he ends up meeting a series of people who are also victims of the cycle of violence. Both the graphic novel and the book focus on Will's attempt to get revenge for his brother's death. ![]() ![]() I think that it's easy to judge people especially youth that are victims of violence when you don't take the opportunity to really learn and understand how they get there in the first place. Reynolds utilizes this story to capture the discussion around cyclical violence. I read it for the first time this year and it was AMAZING. Anyone who knows me just a little knows exactly how I feel about Long Way Down. ![]()
