Drowned City: Hurricane Katrina & New Orleans by Don Brown, 96
pages
This is a graphic novel depicting the events of Hurricane Katrina,
from a couple of days before when the storm was first detected to the awful
aftermath and rescue efforts after the storm. The illustrations and story
are pretty stark, which seems fitting for the subject matter. I thought
it worked well as a graphic novel, since the illustrations help make everything
more real. I can't say that I like graphic novels much better after I
read this than before but it wasn't bad. I think that this could have
some teen appeal although we have it in adult because it is non-fiction.
People who like historical books and also like graphic novels will definitely
want to give this a look.
