I was still able to get that full movie picture image playing out in my head while reading. Brittney kept it so interesting and engaging that I didn’t want to put it down. But, I think this is my genre to do so, or at least my author. This book was in third person, which was a slight adjustment for me since I typically never read third person.

"Raw and gripping." –JASON REYNOLDS, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of Stamped: Racism, Anti-Racism, and You Critically acclaimed author Nic Stone boldly tackles America’s troubled history with race relations in her gripping debut novel. ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE’S 100 BEST YA BOOKS OF ALL TIMEĪfter a traffic stop turns violent at the hands of the police, a young Black teen grapples with racism-and what it means for his future. I guess the whole Sarah/Debbie storyline was a means to get to the real focus, which is Joe and Laura. I might otherwise be a little annoyed in the wild shift in focus, but the artwork is so mesmerizing and the journey Joe takes in rescuing the woman he loves is so intense, I'm just totally enamored by this series, still. The private eye schtick really takes a backseat in this issue, as Joe turns into a crusader to save Laura. Once he finds out for sure there's something wrong in Heaven, Joe has no other choice but to sneak into Hell. And since he can't talk with the angel to find out what's happening, Joe seeks out alternative means, which send him to some haunted ruins in the middle of the city. His hunt for the leader of the Divine Will cult has now led to seek out the same man he killed two years ago-the same man who killed him and Laura. Joe Fitzgerald has a bad feeling that something is wrong in the afterlife, and when his attempts to summon his angelic informant fail time and again, Joe worries Laura isn't as safe in Heaven as was originally promised. What he finds there will change his life forever But now he's going somewhere he's never been before: into Hell itself, in pursuit of the woman he loves. Joe Fitzgerald has been to heaven many times.or at least someplace that looks a lot like heaven if you didn't know any better.

Aaron decided he wanted to write comics as a child, and though his father was skeptical when Aaron informed him of this aspiration, his mother took Aaron to drug stores, where he would purchase books from spinner racks, some of which he still owns today.Īaron's career in comics began in 2001 when he won a Marvel Comics talent search contest with an eight-page Wolverine back-up story script. His cousin, Gustav Hasford, who wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers, on which the feature film Full Metal Jacket was based, was a large influence on Aaron. Jason Aaron grew up in a small town in Alabama. The ``Mouse Moral'' that concludes the tale-``Knowing in part may make a fine tale, but wisdom comes from seeing the whole''-may seem superfluous to those who prefer the imaginative ``vision'' of the mice. The spare text permits greater exploration and enjoyment of the artwork-it may be difficult to read the story straight through without stopping to compare the various images. Young's textured, cut-paper illustrations allow readers to visualize just how a floppy ear might be mistaken for a fan (``I felt it move!'') the elephant's curving trunk springs to life as both a jewel-green snake and a glowing yellow spear.
