5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was soooooooooo cool!!!!!, July 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Outrageous Origin (Garfield's Pet Force) (Paperback)
Before I read the Garfield comic books I couldn't stand regular comic books. But now I can't wait for the next one "Attack of the Lethal Lizards." The first one was so good, and the second, and the third, and the fourth! I collect all kinds of Garfield stuff! I love you Garfield and friends!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great little novella featuring the fat cat!, June 29, 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Outrageous Origin (Garfield's Pet Force) (Paperback)
Despite the fact it's a kid's book, it's got a great variety of vocabulary, some pretty good Marvel-style illustrations with its dramatic shadowing, and a dishing out of some real witty humor that an adult would doubtlessly enjoy. It's a funny portrayal of the science-fiction pulp tale based on Garfield's fantasy about being a comic-book superhero. It takes place when Vetvix, a femme fatale nemesis of the gallant Pet Force decides to take over the whole universe, so she sets out to destroy the heroic company altogether. And the veterinarian vixen also has some evil plots up her silky sleeve: she sends an overweight rat out to eat all the food in the whole universe, so all the innocent victims on each planet would starve. So it's Garfield & Friends To The Rescue! A very amusing and rollicking space ride and role-playing with your most favorite Garfield characters!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for reading out loud, July 24, 2011
By 
I read this book aloud to my boys. My 9 year old liked it much better than my 13 year old. I thought the story was okay, but I did not enjoy reading it out loud at all (too much repeating of silly, tongue-tripping names of places and spaceships). On the plus side, most of the chapters had 1-2 lively one-page illustrations.
