I liked it, but not as much as I liked Saints. I think reading Boxers before Saints will help you understand what's going on in Saints, because it goes into greater detail about what the Boxer Rebellion actually was. I really like the idea of history being told in the form of a graphic novel. It's been a while since I've read it (over a month), and now I'm finding that I'm having a hard time talking about the book and what I thought about it. It's definitely worth reading, though, and it does make me want to learn more about it. Whether I actually do so remains to be seen, but maybe one day... 
 It is a good introduction to the subject, though, and I think if you're new to graphic novels (like I am), Boxers (and Saints) is a really good place to start. I also liked seeing the other side of the story, and that there are many sides to one event. 
 My Rating: 3 stars. Mostly because it's a good introduction to the Boxer Rebellion and the format makes it different. But it also gets 3 stars because I don't remember enough to give it a higher rating.
