Review: Powerful and Poetic – A Deeply Moving Story Told in Verse. - Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds is a masterfully written novel-in-verse that grips the reader from the first page and doesn’t let go. The story follows Will, a 15 year old boy consumed by grief and rage after his brother is killed. With a gun tucked into his waistband, he steps into an elevator to seek revenge but each floor brings a ghost from his past who challenges his mission and forces him to reconsider the cycle of violence. The entire book takes place during the 60 seconds the elevator descends, making the tension intense and the pacing incredibly tight. Reynolds uses free verse with raw emotion and lyrical power to convey the weight of trauma, family legacy, and the unspoken rules of street life. The minimalistic yet poignant style makes the book accessible, especially to younger readers and reluctant readers, while delivering a message that resonates deeply. It’s not just a story about revenge it’s about choices, pain, and the haunting power of memory. A must-read for teens and adults alike, Long Way Down is a brilliant, unforgettable book that challenges hearts and minds.

Just brilliant. Compelling story, told in verse that is wonderfully succinct, yet speaks volumes of the protagonist’s experience. Could not put this book down. A must read. Highly recommend.
