review:

'March Volume 2' continues John Lewis' gripping memoir. My review copy only had the first 25% of the book, but I'm confident I can review this based on what I've seen.



It's volume 2, and we're still not at the March of the title, but it looms closer. This book also starts with the framing story which is about the inauguration of President Obama. After a successful Nashville sit-in campaign, John and his fellow protesters try to take on movie theaters. When they are refused tickets, they just get back in line and try again. They receive abuse and open hostility for this, but they remain undeterred. Beyond this, there is an attempt to board a bus in the deep south and the tribulations involved in that.



The courage of these young protesters is perfectly displayed in a graphic novel format. Once again, artist Nate Powell does a tremendous job in a black and white medium. The style of the book is patterned after a comic that John Lewis remembers and the style is perfect for this story. I can't wait to find a full copy of this graphic novel and finish reading it.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Top Shelf Productions, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this important graphic novel.
