Book Review: Andre the Giant: Life and Legend by Box Brown

Andre the Giant: Life and Legend
by Box Brown (YA PB (Graphic Novel) Brown)

In a sport that bills itself as larger than life, Andre Roussimoff (a.k.a. “Andre the Giant”) truly was larger than life in every way. This graphic novel gives us a biographical look at key events in Andre’s life. It’s not comprehensive or definitive, but it is a fun, engaging look at one of pro wrestling’s greatest legends.
