Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Meet ten-year-old Lord of the Rings nerd Jason Fox and his high-school freshman sister, Paige. Jason can't believe he and his sister are both vying for front-row seats to the release of the movie. There's no denying that things will never be the same with heartthrob Orlando Bloom's involvement in Jason's favorite series. Don't forget their underachieving older brother, Peter. With three strong adolescent personalities in one household, colorful stuff often hits the fan; dad Roger usually ducks to avoid it, while mom Andy tries to keep it from staining the rug.

Orlando Bloom Has Ruined Everything lampoons memorable moments from 2003 and 2004, such as the East Coast blackout. In the FoxTrot version, an "ink outage" renders several days' strips only partially drawn. "I called Funky Winkerbean. He says the ink's out over the entire grid," Jason reports.

In another series of strips, Jason's latest money-making scheme involves creating an animated film to rival the box office blockbusters of Pixar and Dreamworks: "It's the tender story of a leech's search for his missing son. I'm calling it Finding Hemo.

The success of FoxTrot has yielded consequences creator Bill Amend may never have imagined. The strip has been used as a question on the game show Jeopardy! and as an answer in the New York Times crossword. It's a fitting irony that FoxTrot has become a fixture of pop culture, the very phenomenon it parodies with such keen wit.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST strip ever!!!, August 2, 2005
A Kid's Review
Of course, nothing beats the old favorite Calvin and Hobbes, but this is REALLY close. Fox Trot is hilarious. I can guarantee you'll be laughing out loud after reading this book. If you've ever heard anything bad about these strips, you have been lied to. This particular book is my favorite. I've read them all and I promise you will want to also after reading this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars You know it is true!, January 7, 2006
By Robert Schmidt (Honolulu, HI & Logan, UT USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Bill Amend is a people-watcher. You can tell this by how his FoxTrot characters mimic real life situations and issues. Unfortunately, he seems to be spending too much time spying on me! At least that is my perception when I see the goings-on of the Fox family!

Orlando Bloom Has Ruined Everything : A FoxTrot Collection, is a funny and timely addition to this long-running cartoon series. As the title suggests, it covers a period of time that the country was wild over Lord of the Rings. But don't dispair... there are still plenty of strips on Thanksgiving dinner, football in the snow, Quincy, dating, snow people, math, allowances, chess, electronic games, tofu, and homework. And if you know what I am talking about, then this is not your first FoxTrot book!

I only wish there was a bit more content in these books! You go through them too quickly! Four stars instead of 5 for this reason.
