Loved the artstyle, it worked really well with the story. This just kinda left me craving more, but maybe that's a sign of a good book.

Me regalaron este libro y debo decir que fue un muy bien regalo. Es di ícil y desgarrador es pensar lo fácil que algo así podría suceder en nuestra sociedad con el movimiento de algunas personas en el poder. 

Este es un libro que toca temas fuertes que tal vez a simple vista no lo pareciera, pero te deja pensando.

Pretty dark. I probably should have read the book first before the graphic novel and would have enjoyed it more.
