Book Description

October 12, 1984
Garfield lives his life to the fullest . . . 9 times!
Cave Cat -- the first cat crawled out of the sea 10 million years ago. He was happy to be out of the water -- until he met Big Bob!
The Vikings -- he was big, he was mean, he was a Viking. Garfield the Orange had looted a lot of cities, but none like St. Paul, Minnesota.
Babes and Bullets -- Sam Spayed wasn't the best private investigator in the world, but he did have one terrific thing going for him -- a secretary who made a great cup of coffee.
The Exterminators -- no mouse was safe from the exterminators. Catching mice was their life. It wasn't a pretty job -- especially the way they did it.
Lab Animal -- specimen 19-GB was not happy at the prospect of being dissected, so he did something about it. What happened set the federal government on its ear.
The Garden -- life was a carefree romp among hovering harmonicas for Cloey and the orange kitten . . . until they confronted the crystal box.
Primal Self -- he was an ordinary house cat leading an ordinary existence. A shadowy memory from another time changed all that.
Garfield -- the marvelous cat we all know and love. This is his life in a nutshell.
Space Cat -- he was lost in space with a computer built by the lowest bidder. And, he was not about to let his life slip away that easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars ...displays Jim Davis' remarkable talent like no other..., December 10, 2000
By 
Andrew Wan (Cupertino, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garfield: His 9 Lives (Paperback)
This is quite a rare book about Garfield, to be sure, but it definitely proves Jim Davis cannot be put into the proverbial box. The story lines are diverse, with both whimiscal themes as well as the disturbing. Overall, it is a showcase of Davis' talents as a story teller and an artist above and beyond the classic Garfield we all know and love. If you really want to appreciate Mr. Davis' creativity, definitely get this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Garfield? Reincarnated? The possibilities are endless!, August 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Garfield: His 9 Lives (Paperback)
Okay, folks, incase you have no idea what NINE LIVES is all about, I'll sum it up for you: Through reincanation, Garfield well lead nine seperate lives! That's right. These are a collection of short stories that tell who he was, what he was, and what he well be in his former lives, present life, and future life. It's an interesting book for Garfield fans (Just because I'm a 21st century mouse, that doesn't mean I don't like the tubby tabby like the rest of you), butlets face it, each story has nothing to do with each other. That's why I'm forced to write seperate reviews on each of the ten stories... IN THE BEGINNING: B This short story takes a look at how God created the cat. Hip and funny. CAVE CAT: A This one portrays Garfield as the first cat ever. Hilarious! THE VIKINGS: B- It's good, but look at the time frame. According to this, these vikings liked in 1984. But so did Garfield! How is this possible? BABES & BULLETS: A+ The best story in the boo! k! Clever, funny, and mysterious. EXTERMINATORS: A+ The funniest story in the book. I love the old lady. LAB ANIMAL: F The ending ruined the story. GARDEN: A- Original, with brilliant art PRIMAL SELF: C An otherwise good story, it's just too short. GARFIELD: A+ Funny! And you just got to love the ending. SPACE CAT: A+ Another hilaious story with another great ending!
