As good as the first in the series. Very much looking forward to the third installment. 

My son is becoming obsessed with this series. Lots of action, a spooky story, and a storyline continuing through each book in the series makes this a great bedtime read. 

An essay collection that should be required reading.

The second volume is just as, if not, more powerful than the first. Starts with the Freedom Riders and ends with the March on Washington and the bombing of Birmingham's Sixteenth Street Baptist Church.

A satisfying conclusion to this trilogy.

I enjoyed this as much as the first. The storyline wasn't as engaging as the first (I'm not sure if it was because this was all present-day versus the alternating past/present in the first book or something else entirely). However, it was action-packed and sets up the third book perfectly.

A very solid debut novel. Intricate plotting, with alternating past and present storylines. A complicated, flawed main character. This has assassins, love, revenge, action, and secrets. It's also a hard look into human trafficking. There are several very graphic/violent scenes. 

My son came home and told me he was doing a school project about John Lewis. I knew the basics about Lewis. However, I didn't know enough to be able to discuss him at length. I remembered this three-book series and checked them out. And, after reading March: Book One, I am glad he chose Lewis for his project.

March: Book One is a very well-done graphic novel. Engaging artwork. Layered storytelling. The perfect blend of heart, social commentary, gravitas, and humor. Graphic novels are not usually something I gravitate towards, but I couldn't put this one down. Lewis was pivotal in the Civil Rights Movement; his story should be required reading.

My son really enjoyed this book. It's the right amount of creepy for a just turned 8-year-old. This book also set up book three rather nicely. I'm seeing a bit of character development, but I would love to see a bit more.

This was....horrifying. Totally unbelievable but also totally, unfortunately, believable. Despite how graphic and naseauting this was, I could not stop listening. The ending will haunt me for some time. The whole premise will haunt me for some time. Please check trigger warnings - just about everything awful that could happen does.
