Book Review - Long Way Down

πŸ“–Recommend for Grades 8 and upπŸ“–
by Jason Reynolds
The Rules are simple: don’t cry, don’t snitch, always get revenge. When Will learns that his brother was shot and killed, he decides to follow the rules. On the elevator ride down from his apartment to the main floor though, Will encounters somebody on each floor who was killed because of the same cycle of violence. Each person provides Will with knowledge and makes him question if he will follow the rules.
While this book maybe 306 pages long, the entire story takes place in about a minute. Jason Reynolds does a magnificent job of sharing this story about the cycle of violence in beautiful verse. The only issue readers may have with this book is the ending.
