Is This Guy for Real?: The Unbelievable Andy Kaufman by Box Brown

3.0

---

I have a hard time resisting advance reader's copies of graphic novels, mainly because I know they won't take me terribly long to read and I love graphic novels. I was excited about this one because I'd heard such good things about Brown's previous titles and I wanted to know more about Kaufman - who I really don't know much about at all. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed by this - it focuses almost exclusively on Kaufman's relationship with the world of professional wrestling. Don't get me wrong - it's interesting, but I didn't walk away really knowing much more about Kaufman than I did prior to reading (outside the realm of wrestling, that is). Still want to check out Brown's other work, but I wanted more from this one.

Thanks to the publisher for a digital advance reader's copy, provided via NetGalley.
