challenging informative reflective tense slow-paced

4.5

I do really hope that they continue on with this series even though John Lewis has passed away because it is really important to show the work and the backlash that happened after this big victories because those big victories are usually where the story ends. It also shows more of the politics side of things which I think is important too. I also really appreciate in this one that they explained their research and some of the artistic decisions, that really added to how I saw the book. It really is a perfect blend of my loves for literature and history.

I didn't get into this as much as the March series, but it is a very important continuation to show that progress can be slow and also have setbacks. I think it is important to continue because the story doesn't end. We are still dealing with these things today and many of the players of the student movement are still alive or have recently passed. Important causes can be derailed by different motivations or focuses. Also, definitely read the whole March series first. Definitely recommend.

This was good! I learned a lot. I do feel like for a graphic novel it is more word heavy. He was such an amazing man.

charlottie93's review against another edition

informative medium-paced

3.75

I loved March so was incredibly excited about Run, Run introduces some key figures and gives us a lot of preliminary information that I'm sure will be worthwhile in the 2nd and 3rd book but I personally found this book a bit flat. 

I also felt like the book could have benefited from being longer, the actual story is only 117 pages (the rest of the book is important information, sources, how the artist created the book etc) so I flew through it. 

Having said all that I'll still be buying the 2nd and 3rd book once they're released.
