Amazing Fantastic Incredible: a Marvelous Memoir

Let me start this review with I LOVE STAN LEE!! I really do.  I have grown up on Marvel comics and cartoons and can honestly say that I think he is brilliant.  I am in awe of his creativity and imagination and truly believe that he created something phenomenal in the world.
With that said, I didn't love his autobiography.  There were parts that I did love.  The comic book genius's memoir written as a comic----ABSOLUTELY.  His sense of humor is evident on every page and he gives credit to all of the creative minds behind his work.  My major disappointment is that it only touched on the surface of his life.  I really wanted to get to know Stan Lee but I don't feel like I have.

Humans of New York Stories by Brandon Stanton

Let me start by stating that I love the Humans of New York Facebook page.  I discovered it about a year and a half ago and thought that it was a great concept and use of Facebook.  Sometimes I wonder what the purpose of Facebook really is... but I digress.
I picked up the Human of New York Stories book because I was interested in how it would translate into a book.  I think the photographs are beautiful and each caption whether one sentence or paragraphs long gives a little bit of a persons essence.  I am surprised though that I missed the comments that I usually scroll through on Facebook.  I find that the comments add more to the humanity depicted in the post.  Which is rather unusual because it is usually the exact opposite--comments in my opinion have brought out a darker side to people.  HONY-Stories was a quick and enjoyable read and I am glad that I did, but I am really happy that I can get a little taste each day online.
