Book Review: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
I finished reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay: A Novel by Michael Chabon (Picador, 2000) earlier this evening. I found it a local thrift store for two dollars and had to get it. The story follows two comic creators, Josef Kavalier and Sam Clay, as they create the Escapist in 1939 and ends after the two are reunited in 1953. I will not go into much detail but the book will appeal to comic book historian buffs for legends such as Stan Lee makes appearances. Overall, I give the book a B because it does drag in some places.

A "B" is just about right.
Though I liked the BKV mini-series...
