REVIEW
When we had Kevin as a guest on our radio show, I’d received an advance copy via email to review for the discussion. I LOVED IT!!! In fact, when we talked with Kevin on air, I was proudly able to tell my co-hosts that I’d ordered copies for each of them for Christmas. (Yes, on a radio salary I bought hardcover books for all of my morning show team! The book is THAT GOOD!) Seriously, if you have any interest in celebrities, comedy, movies, music, television, etc. … YOU’LL LOVE KEVIN’S BOOK!! Not only do you get to enjoy his amazing talent for caricature art, (and he’s AMAZING, by the way), you also get to read a personal story about each of the celebrities he’s memorialized in these pages! It’s fantastic reading that will also make a great coffee table topper for your guests to enjoy! A fantastic conversation starter! Please buy this for yourself or someone you love who would enjoy some inside perspective on their favorite celebrities! You’ll be glad you did. An excellent holiday/birthday gift!
