GPF is a comic written for Geeks and those who love them. As a geek groupie, I love this comic!

GPF tells the story of a group of computer programmers that work for a company named "General Protection Fault" after the Windows error message. There is humour, paranoia, geekiness, slime-moulds that have been lying around so long that they achieved intelligence (and are now teaching correspondance courses), and fun. Buy this book for the computer professional in your life, and keep an eye out for the new book: "Gone with the Windows."

I loved it as a Internet Comic strip. I love it as a book. Funny, witty--a must read; especially if you are a computer geek or someone who loves a computer geek. Good, clean humor.

Now I love GPF, been reading it daily and religiously for a while now online. What's not to love about GPF? Funny plots, great stories, awsome characters, 007's, slime molds, and all that jazz. However I was severely disappointed when I got my copy of this book. I wasn't even half way through reading the book when as I'm turning the pages, I hear some snaps, and by the time I was done reading the book, the cover had completely fallen off. And no, it's not a one time deal, it happened with the other book as well.

So while I do recommend this book to be bought, just make sure you a gluegun or superglue in hand when you read it.

For those of you unfamiliar with the world Internet Comic Strips, this one is an absolute must see. Jeff Darlington does a great job of characterizing the geek world, with hillarious story lines and fantastic drawings. Keep it up Jeff!
