Andre the Giant: Life and Legend by Box Brown
2.0
- I was really disappointed with this book.
- I was hoping for more of Andre's life and him dealing with his physical condition. Instead the story is about Andre's career as a wrestler and the wresting world.
- I wanted more on his role in The Princess Bride. The movie only got a couple pages, and it didn't go into detail on anything it was just a few fun panels.
- I didn't like how Andre was portrayed. Cary Elwes describes him as a very kind and gentle soul. He only had high praise for Andre, and this graphic novel paints him in a darker light with very little to no mention of his kinder side.
- There is a lot of F-bombs. It was a bit ridiculous how often that word showed up.
- Overall, I wouldn't recommend this. If you want to know about Andre, read As You Wish.
