BRUTAL GAMER - "A surprisingly touching narrativethat 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." 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."
