It was a very interesting story and one that I hadn't heard. Like I knew of the desk bomb attempt, but I didn't know of the people behind it. Some pages were harder to read than others due to the amount of text on the page or the color combinations. Not the best historical graphic novel. I feel like the illustrations need to add to the story and this one I felt like they were interesting and added substance at times, but not always. Some of of them were just backgrounds. Derf Backderf's Kent State is a good example of what I think makes a good historical graphic novel in that it's readable and there's not a lot of visual distraction on the page. There was a lot of text on the pages, sometimes too much and it felt like a lot.
