Great but too short for the price!! AGH This is a great graphic novel - excellent visuals, nice pacing, well written. So why am I giving it just three stars? Well the ebook is only 119 pages long and it goes by too fast! I would love if there were additional chapters focused on the summer of 1953 and additional background / flashbacks. At this price, it's a bit of a rip off for the kindle edition - though the panel to panel browsing is pretty slick.
