This one deserves the praise it has received. The illustrations really raise this book above the crowd. On one page, Yummy is drawn in shadow behind the barrel of the gun he points directly at the reader, at his victim. He could be any murderer. On the next page, after he sees who he's shot, he's drawn from the back, fleeing from the scene; his baggy pants rise up to show him with skinny, almost bird-like legs, showing him as the scared 11 year old boy. A great collaboration. I'm definitely going to check out DuBurke's graphic biography of Malcom X. If it's half as good as Yummy, it will be a great read.
This was a good story full of twist and turns...at times to many.....still a good read that will have you wanting to skip pages or read faster to see what happens next...Can't wait to read more about the Livingston's.....
