The word Yummy caught my eye so I pulled it out of the stacks. I was really expecting some cute little story. Instead I saw a serious looking book about a serious topic. I read this book in one sitting, and all I can say is "Wow!" What an amazing and touching story. The story of Yummy is told through the eyes of another 11 year old, Roger. He is trying to make sense of the short, tragic life of Yummy. I was very moved by the story. Having grown up in the suburbs, the way of life depicted in the book is very foreign to me. It makes me sad that people are living this way. I liked the way the author tried to balance out the story, showing the sweet, little boy side of Yummy, vs the gang member/killer side. I loved the stark black and white drawings. They added so much to the story. This was a really good book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

It's not a poor book -- it's good for some audiences. But I'd hoped that the graphic novel format could convey what words cannot in this story, and I was disappointed. The story is horrific -- what 11-year-old human can bear the responsibility of a gun? -- but I felt the artwork could have done a better job of Showing, rather than simply accompanying the Telling.
