4.0 out of 5 stars Another winner by Lynne Johnston, September 22, 2006
I adore this comic strip. It has been wonderful to see the whole family grow up before our eyes.

In this treasury of 136 pages, the focus is mainly on April who has become a teenager. I remember reading this strip when April was a little girl being saved by my beloved Farley! Now, she is a teenager!!! Its making me feel old.

This is a collection of the strips that have appreared in the Sunday pages and is pretty funny considering the situations the whole family is often put in. Although there is a focus on April, there are also many, many wonderful strips on the other family members.

I have to admit to feeling a little disconnected when Lynn gives us too much of the outside world, i.e. Mike's wife, Liz boyfriend's etc. This strip works best for me when the whole (or part of) the family is together.

Nonetheless a wonderful read. Pick it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the family, November 12, 2006
By Philly Shaw (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews
I have every one of the FBFW collections. I've been a part of the family since they first appeared. Probably because this is the family I'd have had if not for the divorce. My favorite part is that each member isn't really cartoonish. They have faults and frustrations, they fight, they make up....it's believable. I'm an avid reader and part of the enjoyment is caring for the characters involved. I care for these characters. This is the only strip I need a daily fix for. I reread the series over again, just as I do Little House on the Prairie and for very much the same reason. These stories are a history of our time. Lynn has recorded the last 20+ years of family life and the world that affects it.

5.0 out of 5 stars April turns 13., December 9, 2009
By R. Kemp (Birdsboro, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Lynn Johnston's books are always great. She is the only cartoonist who ages the characters in her strip in real time. In this episode, which lasts about a year, the youngest Patterson turns 13 and her parents have their hands full with a new teenager. Her sister, Elizabeth begins to grow away from the family. Mike and Deanna expect their second child. Elly and John begin to adjust to middle age. Grandpa and Iris are managing well at this point.

If you love For Better or For Worse and have missed this issue, you will certainly enjoy it.

Another Great book to visit the Patterson's with. "For Better / For Worse" has to be one of the best comic strips of all time. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A solid FBOFW book.
We own all of the "For Better or For Worse" books and the whole family enjoys them! In fact some of us read them more than once. This one is just as good as the others.
