The Accidental Candidate: The Rise and Fall of Alvin Greene by Corey Hutchins, David Axe

tmaluck's review

2.0

A journalistic account of Alvin Greene, one that is of special value in a media environment that was quick to reduce Greene and his political environment to a punchline. However, I did not find the medium to be of much use to this story: everyone is drawn with as much detail and expression as a newspaper serial. Seeing Greene alternate between indifference and panic during his rise to fame didn't enhance the effect of the text. The story seems to be well reported (I can't judge the mysteries left dangling by the end), but why is this a graphic novel?

Real life is stranger than fiction. Democracy is doomed.
