4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty funny book., April 13, 2000

This review is from: Wildlife Preserves (Paperback)

Wildlife Preserves, the tenth book in the Far Side series, is not quite as funny as the rest of the books in this series. That is not to say that it is not a funny book. There are several of my all time favorite cartoons in this book and an average Gary Larson is still far funnier than any other cartoonist in the world. However, there were not quite as many laughs as some of his previous books. I still like this book and feel that there are enough laughs to make it a worthwhile addition to the Far Side collection. There are also enough laughs for me to recommend it to someone who needs a good laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wildlife Preserves: A semi-true Far Side collection, June 26, 2000

This review is from: Wildlife Preserves: A Far Side Collection (Library Binding)

Wildlife Preserves, the 10th Far Side Collection is a very informitive book. I bought it because The Far Side is my favorite comic strip and I have 10 others. But, I never thought I could learn so much from a comic strip. I found out about Cowmen Miranda and the woolly watermelon. I learned about when naturalists found The Seccret Chipmunk Burial Grounds and how the spitting cobras live at home. If wou want ace all you history quizes, this book will be helpful (It could happen).

Classic Greg Larson. I enjoyed this book very much. I laughed over and over. How I wish that Far Side was still being written. If you are a Far Side fan you will find this book worth buying!
