informative slow-paced

It was fine but tbh thought for a popular science book it was far too technical
emotional informative reflective fast-paced

A really insightful view into a part of history we don't normally see. Highly recommended.

This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest books ever written. It's exquisitely beautiful and the wording is so precise as to create discomfort and emotion but not gratuitously. Absolutely stunning, a must read 
funny medium-paced

Enjoyable enough but a printing error made a few chapters near the end very hard to read.

I really wanted to like this, but there were simply too many panels that were just graphics, and with it being b&w, I feel like I couldn't really get into the stories.
