Animal House for the Tech Gen: Geeks & Greeks Graphic Novel Review

"Fresh, fun, and sometimes, wonderfully batshit insane... Geeks & Greeks is not like other graphic novels, with their cliché-laden dialogue and tired, recycled plotlines. Geeks aspires to grandeur and more often than not, achieves it."

Good Will Hunting Meets Animal House

"The only thing scarier than John Belushi from Animal House is John Belushi from Animal House with a 160 IQ."

Review Fix Exclusive: Steve Altes Talks "Geeks & Greeks"

"For me the best stories come from people who’ve had unusual adventures in highly-specific arenas. They bring an authenticity to the dialogue and the irrefutable confidence that comes from actual lived experience."

Geeks & Greeks

Had a blast talking to Clay Ferno at ForcesOfGeek.com

"There is more to Geeks & Greeks than pranks and hacks. You've got a bit of romance, lots of humor and lots of local Boston / MIT / Cambridge references."

Book Review: A Tale of Hazing and Hacking at MIT

"The artwork is consistently pleasing throughout the novel, and does a great job at bringing many unbelievable events to life. In this way, the novel is certainly a compelling read, filled with jokes that will please anyone with nerdier sensibilities and stories that are sure to inspire young readers to apply to the Institute."

- Karleigh Moore, The Tech (MIT), 4.8.16

Geeks & Greeks

Insightful review in FanboyNation

"Geeks & Greeks is an absolutely entertaining book that gives readers a look into the MIT hacking culture. It's a devilishly smart book with hilarious pop culture references blended with interesting scientific terminology that explodes into one amazing book."

Geeks & Greeks

Fun interview with Anthony Bench of FanboyNation

"Does Ursus Arctos defecate in a deciduous forest biome? This thing has more Easter eggs than Augustus Gloop in a Cadbury factory! Sorry. I think I just channeled Dennis Miller for a second."

Nice mention in the Miami Herald

"Here’s a logline for a potential movie: Animal House at MIT with brainy jocks and nerds.' It’s autobiographical, too, with a funny, human story of struggle and redemption with believable characters in outrageous but plausible situations. Fish does a nice job with the visuals, too."

Geeks & Greeks

Lovely review by fellow author (and MIT alum) Gloria Chao

"Steve’s sense of humor is wonderful and I laughed out loud on multiple occasions (and not just at the geeky jokes!). I actually started laughing at his introduction, before I had even started the story. I was pleasantly surprised by the romance. I loved all the nerdy flirting between the protagonist and the sperm donor receptionist (yes, you read that right). They had great chemistry and sweet moments that had me rooting for them."

Geeks & Greeks

Truth is stranger than fiction

"It's hard to tell where the truth ends and the humor begins with this Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate. It'd be easy to understand why a publisher might reject his work at first blush, deeming it couldn't possibly be true. So when Steve Altes of Santa Clarita set out to write about the grandiose pranks practiced by his college coeds and fraternity brothers in his latest book, Geeks & Greeks, he said he included 120 footnotes to explain the real-life events that inspired it."
