This review is from: Garfield Weighs In: His Fourth Book (Paperback)

I think it is obvious that I love Garfield the cat. For a dog person such as myself, Garfield is the one cat that I would love to own (or maybe not). It is so interesting, if not funny seeing how Garfield has evolved beginning with "Garfield At Large". He began as this big blob of ink. His eyes were small, had a t-shaped nose, and his ears were just as small as his eyes. I would have to say the evolution of Garfield stopped with "Garfield Sits Around the House". All of Jim Davis' books are hilarious. Through out the 20-some years that Garfield has been around, diehard fans such as myself would noticed that the gags and jokes have changed over the years. In the first several books, there were no spider jokes. Or the poor Mrs. Feeny who is constantly tormented by Garfield nowadays. In "Garfield Weighs In" (as well as the other first three books), Garfield is either being tormented by Nermal, the world's cutest (and annoying) kitten or being tricked into taking a bath. And then there is the sludge monster, a figment of Garfield's overactive imagination. I love it when Garfield mugs a girl scout for her cookies. Only Garfield would do something as silly as mugging a girl scout. Another classic moment in the book is when Jon attempts to train Garfield to be an attack cat but fails miserably. And of course there is the visit to Dr. Liz's office and the constant putdowns Jon gets from Liz. Garfield never ceases to amuse me. I still laugh at his crankiness and enormous appetite for all things pasta.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Garfield Weighs In: His Fourth Book (Paperback)

This book is very good! I like this book because in Garfield bigger than life, Weighs in and Takes the Cake, Jim Davis' illustrations are at their best. Other than that, the book is very funny and if you are buying this book, get the color edition, it is much better quality.
