My Never Ending List
My Never Ending List rated it 3 years ago
Three. That’s all it took. Whereas some books use series, some use chapters, and some use pages of text, Reyolds began this book using three powerful, long sentences to get his point across. Using his artistic talent, Jason Griffin grabbed those words and he chopped and stretched them. Inserting...

I loved Long Way Down, also written by this author, so when I saw this graphic novel, I knew I had to read it. Long Way Down touched me on so many different levels as the story played out. Jason used space and time to tell this story, the words arranged just right, letting my emotions take over. I l...

A school bus is the students' version of a teachers’ lounge. A school bus is the principal’s desk. A school bus is the nurse’s cot. A school bus is an offic...

Dieses Buch fiel mir in einer Buchhandlung aufgrund des Covers auf und irgendwann kam ich auch mal an die eBook-Version heran, also habe ich begonnen zu lesen... Matt ist ein Teenager, der zusammen mit seinem Vater in Brooklyn lebt und vor kurzem seine Mutte...

This not only balanced the action of a racist regime actively trying to keep minorities down but also the more personal stories: Miles' crush on a poet, and fellow student, named Alicia. (She's black as well, which is only important because one of their teachers is pretty openly and grossly racist...

It was Bendis/Bagley's Ultimate Spider-Man that brought me back to comics after a decade-plus break, and no matter what else I read, it was one of my Top 2 titles on my pull-list. Financial concerns got me to stop reading/collecting about a year before Miles Morales showed up. I was able to deal wit...

I'll post a review closer to the pub date, but this was pretty intense. Surprisingly deep look at race for a YA Spider-Man book.
