This review is from: Garfield Gets a Life (Paperback)

It's a good book if you love Garfield, but don't come to expect it to be like the regular comic strips. The comedy is limited, and the book is short and thin, but at least it's color :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A great choice for Garfield fans!, July 15, 2000

This review is from: Garfield Gets a Life (Paperback)

I ordered "Garfield Gets a Life" from amazon.com a while ago and won't ever regret it. I believe it's one of garfield's funnier TV-special-type books. As noted above, the book was published in 1991, when Jim Davis's ideas were still original, and not so repetitive. One thing's for certain: Garfield really does know how to enjoy life! I would truely recommend this particular book to any and all Garfield fans out there, especially because it's almost NEVER found in book stores.
