A review by geekwayne
The World Book of Records by Tonino Benacquista
3.0
'The World Book of Records' by Tonino Bencquista with art by Nicholas Barral is a graphic novel about a man with a job measuring unusual records.
Paul Baron works at a publication which tracks world records. He spends his days watching people eat hot dogs and twirl batons. He fields countless requests by folks with feats they think will make them famous. But there are those he denies, and they see Paul in a different way. One man sees a diabolical way to make his name famous.
I liked story of a guy who seems really tired at his job and the unusually hopeful people who approach him. The art was nice and worked. This was a good read.
