I love Geary's thing. Meticulous research, packaged up and presented in graphic novel form.
More of this please always. Particularly centering people who are not white.

A courtroom procedural about the Sacco and Vanzetti for the most part; I had some good middle and high school teachers so we talked about this case and the overall themes were familiar to me. However, for those who like "Law and Order" and the like, the day-to-day presentation of evidence and court proceedings could be interesting!

3.5 stars - I always enjoy this series. I remember learning about Sacco and Vanzetti in school but could not have told you any details except that there was something fishy about their case and people were upset. It was great to read this and get a refresher on that part of American history.
I think EVERY Middle and High School should have the Rick Geary series in their collections, it's a great way for anyone to familiarize themselves with historical true-crime stories and might even inspire someone to dig a little deeper into the mysteries.

An interesting account of the Sacco and Vanzetti case. Though I'd heard of them, I really didn't know much about the case and the controversy surrounding their trial and conviction.

This story was really interesting! Rick Geary does a great job (in all of his books) of laying out the facts clearly and concisely, which allows the reader to form their own judgments of the cases. I didn't know about Sacco and Vanzetti before reading this. After reading it, I felt enough information was covered that I understood this part of history very well. But it was so intriguing, I wanted to continue reading more about it!

Stopped halfway through. The art was cool but it was all exposition and no dialogue.
