I don't know how to rate this book, so I settled on 3/5. Good book, but not my personal cup of tea.
The jumps in time are disorienting and the art style is a little too overwhelming for my taste, so I found myself confused most of the time. When the book goes for the throat, though, it HURTS and I found it to be very effective in its portrayal of community and police brutality.
I recommend it. The subject is important and it doesn't pull any punches. The style just wasn't for me.
