I Exaggerate

I wasn't aware that the comedian Kevin Nealon was a caricaturist; I ordered the book from the library thinking it was a standard memoir. Instead there are pictures of dozens of celebrities with short articles on each. Some Nealon knows, which makes the text more interesting; others he doesn't, and here the book flounders a bit with Wikipedia-type bios. Nealon's drawings are good, with a few of them excellently capturing a face but others struggling to find the mark. There are surprisingly few laughs here for a book by a comedian.
