Customer Reviews

Good old Garfield

Other than now being in full color instead of black and white, Garfield hasn't changed much over the years. He still picks on Jon and Odie, sleeps all the time, loves food, and can't help being nasty, incorrigible, and hopelessly loveable. This book is a thick, beautiful, and easily readable tome to everybody's favorite cat.Highly recommended.

PERFECT stocking stuffer.

Okay, there's not many days left until Xmas but let me assure you that this Garfield book makes an excellent last-minute gift. Everyone I know loves Garfield and would be thrilled at getting a book like this.It's rather thick and taller than usual. Plus it's in full color. As long as I can remember I've loved reading Garfield, even when I was a little kid reading the black and white pocket books. So kids will appreciate this too. Trust me.It opens with 'Garfield's code of Nevers', such as 'Never Eat the Mystery Meat. And ends with 'Garfield's Top Ten Suggestions for New Athletic Events, such as 'The Fridge Lift' and 'Eat till you Explode'. Crammed inbetween are hundreds of hilarious comic strips. Plus there is information on the last page on how to join the Garfield fan club. And why not?

Garfield, Jon, and Odie are still funny!!!!!

Jim Davis is a genius! I cannot beleive that Garfield is still hilarious!! It is still funny after you've read 10 times!!!

Another laugh riot from Garfield

I was so used to the old format in the Garfield series, black & white and the book being vertical. Nevertheless I enjoyed Garfield and his constant abusings of Jon and Odie. Reading Garfield in this new format of color and in a taller book form was a pleasant surprise. I can never tire of Garfield and all his antics, especially when he is swatting spiders. I may be inching towards 30 but I will never stop buying Garfield books. As long as he keeps me laughing I'll keep buying.

Funny as ever!

Garfield is funnier than ever. Fans of the huge cat will need no recommendations as far as the humour and stories are concerned. Moreover, the book has an excellent layout and is all coloured. A very nice touch is the little drawings at the bottom of the page that seem to move when flipping the pages quickly.This book is a great read and would make a great present for kids and adults alike.
