  "Sideshow Fry" has the feeling of a Futurama episode. It's packed with all forms of comedy. Visual sight gags abound. Slapstick is rife, and a peculiar homage to the underrated show The Greatest American Hero becomes particularly important.

Apart from the laughter the book elicits, it will also persuade you smile and feel good. Read Full Review
