This graphic novel is for 8-12 year olds but I would even recommend it for an adult who only had surface knowledge of Parks and Colvin. The book takes great care not to sugar-coat the fullness of their stories

I couldn't WAIT to finally get one, and getting to try out Super Mario 64 on a demo kiosk in Toys R Us blew my mind.
You just had to be there. It was unreal.
