"StickMan is as much an American adventure story as documentary chronicle, recounting Chapman's experimental struggles in actually building the contraption, refining it, and fighing for
mainstream acceptance. Engagingly written and loaded with eye-popping revelations, you'll have a hard time putting this page-turner down."
