Terry Gross interviewed Percy Carey on Fresh Air recently. It's a must-listen....and now I must read this book.
This was great. A very interesting story and executed very well in comic form.

Started off giving this three stars, but I can't stop thinking about it, so it's one of those books that is better than I thought it was, in that it's having an effect on me.
I'm grateful for this story being told--it seems like the comic format mostly works really well for Carey's story, but it still remains difficult to convey the pleasure of music through comics, and that holds this one back just a bit.

I don't know much (read: anything) about hip-hop culture and was a little skeptical of this book based on the cover. The cover of this edition doesn't reflect at all how well written and drawn it is; I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed the read, despite knowing none of the background information. Now I have to read more about MF Grimm. Any book that makes me want to read more books is a good book.
