Don't read this review! This book is not for everyone!
Not everyone will benefit from this book. Those who have strong prejudices against the rich and believe wealth comes by winning the lottery may not enjoy it. (Don't read it unless you desire the truth.) Those who strive to do the right thing, live a balanced life and practice good judgment will love it. You will feel strengthened by the scientific research that confirms your beliefs about work, ...

When cartoons grew up.
I just got back from my post office here in Oslo Norway. The little woman who went back to get this package for me looked less than thrilled. This is HEAVY!
Well, anyhow, I just had my first look at this and it's stunning. Calvin and Hobbes deserve no less.

Patrick McDonnell
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2008
Adopt! Adopt! Adopt!
I bought this book for my sister who wanted to get a pet for my niece. I am hoping to set her mind 'free' of a set pedigree which she likes.
This book didn't disappoint.
As with all Mutts book, this one has all the wits and love sprouting from Mooch and Earl.
But the central theme of the book is still to adopt a pet from the shelters instead of buying from the pet shops. Pets from ...

Sophie R
The most beautifully illustrated cookbook I've encountered. The recipes are perfect for families (i.e.picky eaters) and a great way to get kids to try new foods or combinations. For myself, a self-professed "foodie" I just love reading the recipes and the author's comments. Great, yummy cookbook...a must get.

Couldn't have passed my Art Content Praxis without this book!!!
I bought this book to review for the Art Content Praxis. It's been about 20 years since my art history classes so I definitely needed a refresher. Although, I did remember a lot and reviewed other books, this book put me over the top.
It's fast paced and easy to read! Short highlights to remind you of things you may have forgot and adds what you may have missed.

I suppose this could apply to any Calvin and Hobbes collection (not just Attack of the Deranged..., but let me share my favorite way to read Calvin and Hobbes.
If possible, I like to pick a rainy Saturday or Sunday. I'm usually already bored and wandering around the cold house. I catch sight of a Calvin and Hobbes book and read a few pages, but my fingers are cold and I can't concentrate.

Stupid History: Tales of Stupidity, Strangeness, and Mythconceptions Throughout the Ages4 reviews
Leland Gregory
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2007
Light reading on a weighty topic!
I really enjoy trivia and I really enjoy history so it was nice to see them combined in a really funny collection. This is a collection of entertaining short, historical tales flavored with pieces of trivia and stupid acts through the ages. Leland Gregory has also peppered these narratives with "punny" jokes that are sure to make you crack a smile.
