I really liked the art and overall organizing of this book. I like how it marked all of the dialog that was quotes and listed where each of the quotes was from in the back of the book. 
Normally I don't read grafic novels because I read them too quickly and want a longer book. While this book, being a grafic novel, actually took me a reasonable amount of time to read.

 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.

I learned quite a bit, and I really enjoyed the layout of this book. It also feels particularly important and scary to read right now in relation to American politics. That said, it wasn't quite a page turner for me. I kept putting it down and not feeling particularly excited to pick it up again, so it took me a while to get through it
