Review:
LIBRARY JOURNAL -- "Andre The Giant was-and still is-a perfect comic book character. Visually arresting, superlative in size and strength, often heroically facing difficult circumstances and terrible pain, sometimes failing to meet his challenges, and with a complicated inner-life that included a simmering darkness that could occasionally boil over."
BRUTAL GAMER - "A surprisingly touching narrative that reveals a new side to Andre 'The Giant' Roussimoff. . . . With a voice and tone perfectly matched to Andre's demeanor, Easton's writing brings Andre back to life."
