4.0 out of 5 stars More delights from Thurber's crazy world, January 24, 2002
This review is from: The Beast in Me and Other Animals (Paperback)
The Thurber Carnival is really the must-have offering from the Thurber canon, but this book has some delights of its own. His assessment of the psychology behind his cartoons for The New Yorker is typical Thurber, the man at his sharpest. His gallery of wildlife sketches is as believable as it is ridiculous (his portrait of a gloat standing by a patch of I-told-you-sos being just one example).

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent but not his best, February 2, 2001
This review is from: The Beast in Me and Other Animals (Paperback)
Let me start by saying that James Thurber is an exeptional writer and most of his stuff is well writen and very readable. However this book while it contains some very good works is not his best work ever. The thing that really drew me to this book was the cover and title and I am glad I read it and did enjoy it, but I have enjoyed some of his other works more.
