Review:This is another instant classic from The Oatmeal.
Why Grizzly Bears Should Wear Underpants takes a deep look inside some of the unknown reactions of grizzlies to life... or was he talking about humans? Read more
Review:An intriguing story with a mystery or two. A magical and dangerous world split between two races and teetering on a sword's edge. The illustrations are wonderful and propel the story during the action and embrace the quiet moments and the horror. Read more
Review:An absolutely excellent read. Gaiman presents characters that we all know and love in a unique and exciting way. Even though I am not thoroughly read in the marvel universe, what I do know about the characters shone through and had me wanting more. Read more
Review:I am a fan of the artist and the webcomic. So when this set of comics came to print, I instantly bought it to read to my daughter. The print version (the book) is very hard to read. Many of the comic panels have been shrunk down considerably and both myself, and my daughter have a very difficult time reading the words. The pictures are also graphically shrunk down and shoved into the pages. Read more
Review:Mentions masturbation and and uses words that would get kids suspended from school. How is this a young adult book, why does it have a Caldecot award. While this grotesque behavior may be true to life experience for some kids, I don't want to promote it or condone it. I borrowed this book from the library and intend to take it back with some words. I don't ever believe in banning a book, but books marketed to children should not contain words that I am not allowed to include in this review..... Read more
Review:Writing a successful YA series that appeals to tweens, teenagers and adults alike (such as Harry Potter and The Hunger Games) is quite a skill and not one that this series achieves.
While I think teenagers would probably quite enjoy this series, as an adult I found it far too long and drawn out, overtly cheesy and predictable. You know the plot lacks intelligence when you can easily predict the ending before you have even picked up the fourth and last book.
The only character I rea... Read more
Review:Have lofty aspirations of world dominance?
Dream of the laments of your enemies?
Do you want to learn to bend the masses to your will?
Here's the book for you!
I used the knowledge I gained from this book to depose the pretender to the throne of Carthage last week. And I'm only halfway through.
I also used its power to trick my wife into switching sides on the bed so I could be closer to the fan.
I'm drunk with power.
Come and join me. Read more
Review:This is an interesting fairy tale story for adults. The book is nicely formatted so that you can read the captions and view the artwork on each panel on the computer. Both story and artwork are quite good and I look forward to reading more in this series. Read more
Review:Typically the prime releases are related to the MCU, sometimes only tangentially. Brie Larson posted a photo of herself reading this compilation as well, so we will see some of this story on the big screen. Read more
Review:This "graphic novel" sucks big time. The illustrations are amateurish and the story line is very weak and totally disappointing as it rehashes for the most part old information about Odd before his girlfriend's death. I definitely do not recommend this trash, especially at the price of $10+. Read more
