Publisher's Summary

Jason Reynolds’s Newbery Honor, Printz Honor, and Coretta Scott King Honor–winning, number-one New York Times best-selling novel Long Way Down is now a gripping, galvanizing graphic novel, with haunting artwork by Danica Novgorodoff.

Will’s older brother, Shawn, has been shot. Dead. Will feels a sadness so great, he can’t explain it. But in his neighborhood, there are THE RULES: 

No. 1: Crying. Don’t. No matter what. 

No. 2: Snitching. Don’t. No matter what. 

No. 3: Revenge. Do. No matter what. 

But bullets miss. You can get the wrong guy. And there’s always someone else who knows to follow the rules....

Be prepared to feel this one deeply.

I tried to listen to this while I was busy doing tasks around the house, which is the way I listen to must audiobooks, but I found myself so captivated by this story that I just sat and listened. Most audiobooks don't hold me for more than half an hour or so. This one didn't let me go until it was over. And my heartstrings are still thrumming. Wow.

Best book ever

I honestly never usually like books but this book was AMAZING. I have never read such a deep book. It was a very quick read which I didn’t like because I just wanted more. I listened to the whole thing in almost one sitting and I can say that it is a perfect book for a teenager.
