"March is a vivid first-hand account of John Lewis' lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. Rooted in Lewis' personal story, it also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement."--Back cover flap.

Fantastic submitted by evelyn on July 8, 2014, 8:54pm I was lucky enough to see the Congressman and the other authors speak live, and this book is just as fantastic as I hoped for.

True superhero submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on August 9, 2016, 10:28pm Graphic novels can be a fantastic tool to tell a story. When done well, the author and illustrator working together can convey story, drama, tension, character, and a genuine sense of presence to the world being conveyed. What is most awesome (and I don't use that word lightly) about _March_ is that it is the true recounting of John Lewis's journey from childhood to Civil Rights leader to member of the US House of Representatives present at the inauguration of our first Black president. The team that brings us this book capture all those elements.

Graphic novels are often about superheroes. This story is about a real one.

One of the best books Ive ever read submitted by caherne on August 5, 2018, 10:45am The authors are so talented in that they wrote the book with so much feeling and detail it made me feel like I was actually there. I love how it goes from the now President Barack Obama´s inauguration then to the past. Life-changing

Should be required reading submitted by A2AE on July 2, 2019, 3:18pm An outstanding account of an incredibly dynamic man. This is a series that everyone should read. You will gasp as the heroic actions of Lewis and the shocking encounters he had leading up to the march in Selma.

Very Powerful submitted by brszym on August 11, 2020, 8:58pm This book covers the stories I thought I knew (sit-ins, freedom riders) and ones I didn't know at all (John Lewis' love of chickens) in such vivid detail. It's a real page turner!

Gripping submitted by PharmRach on August 12, 2020, 8:57pm Very well written and illustrated, and includes a lot of historical details. The format reminds you that you are reading about a real life super hero!

Fantastic graphic novel! submitted by ahlalejini on July 20, 2022, 4:03pm Don't miss this one! It's absolutely phenomenal.

Inauguration Day! submitted by Xris on July 7, 2023, 6:20pm I like how they framed the book, with John Lewis telling about his past to someone visiting his office on inauguration day. I didn't know they had the same kind of sit-ins in Tennessee. Will read the rest of the books now.

Awesome submitted by melbrooke on July 14, 2023, 10:06pm Great read about American history. Should be required for all high school students!

A relatable story submitted by Diananana on August 11, 2023, 6:38pm This book brings depth to the history of Civil Rights Movement. John Lewis' personal story allows readers to see things through his eyes, beginning with his childhood. Combined with the graphics, it is very relatable. Nate Powell, the illustrator and co-author, was featured in an author spotlight at A2CAF 2023 (Ann Arbor Comic Arts Festival). You can view it on AADL-TV. He talks about the creation of the book series and about working with John Lewis. It's worth watching.

Powerful Graphic Novel submitted by mcpapa on August 27, 2023, 2:17pm Being classified as a graphic novel often makes people think it is geared towards children. But, MARCH is for EVERYONE! It is a wonderful telling of the Civil Rights Movement from the legendary John Lewis. The illustrations and story telling are extremely powerful. It is destined to become a classic! A should read!
