review 1: I don't know what it is about this series, but I LOOOOVE them all. I take that back -- maybe I *DO* know what it is. I love true crime. Check. I love well-done, non-fiction graphic novels (cartoons? Not so much.) Check. I like materials that strive to project unbiased, fair coverage. Check. And, I love young adult/juvenile titles. Check. I truly can't go wrong with this series. I can't say that this was my favorite in Geary's series, nor can I say anything negative about it. My 5 star ranking may be a bit biased, bearing in mind all my aforementioned interests. But, this IS goood.
review 2: Rick Geary does it again with another graphic true crime non-fiction book! I'd heard of Sacco and Vanzetti before, but knew nothing about what they did (or were accused of ... moredoing). I found this narrative to be a bit confusing, principally because it's a convoluted series of events. Sacco and Vanzetti were two Italian immigrants accused of murdering and robbing two men who were delivering two boxes of pay envelopes to a nearby factory in eastern Massachusetts in 1920. It's really not clear whether they were guilty or innocent, and Geary presents theories supporting both views. If only they had had modern forensics back then! As usual, I found Geary's artwork perfect for the subject, even adding a touch of humor. Also as usual, he included a bibliography in the front of the book so that interested readers could explore the case in more depth. I know I have a fairly recent adult book on the case, which I now have to dig up and read. Teens with any kind of interest in true crime should love this series. Highly recommended! less
