Book Reviews of The Essential Calvin and Hobbes
Book Review: Hobbes' Favorite Thing To Do
Summary: 5 Stars
As you can tell by the cover on here, Hobbes' favorite thing to do is pounce on Calvin when he gets home from school.
Calvin does not like going to school, because he gets just about everything wrong, he tells Susie the disgusting things he brought for lunch, at recess there's the bully Moe and when he gets home, Hobbes pounces on him.
Calvin's mistake:Shouting out "I'M HOME!" when he comes in the door. He knows Hobbes will hear him and that gives him the advantage of pouncing on Calvin.
Book Review: Laugh-Out-Loud
Summary: 4 Stars
Calvin and Hobbes is a satisfyingly funny comic book. Some of the pages are beyond my knowledge as to what's funny, but perhaps I just don't understand. Overall, Calvin and Hobbes is a great "vacation level" book. You can see patterns that never get old, such as when Calvin has polls about his parents and how he thinks all adults are aliens.Read this book if you want a laugh that you will enjoy for the innocent pleasure!
Book Review: What more do you want?
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's face it: nothing negative can be said about Calvin and Hobbes. It's closer to perfect than any other comic strip in the known multiverse. I can't even count the number of times I've poured through these collections; I must have literally hundreds of strips eternally locked in my brain. If you don't love Watterson's work, there is something very, very wrong with you. Thank you.Book Review: A truly unreplaceable treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
Every calvin and hobbes comic book is truly worthwhile to purchase. NEver again will there be a six year old who manages to evoke all kinds of emotions in you, from making u laugh your sides off to a heartwarming moment that mists your eyes over. All i can say is if you don't get a calvin and hobbes comic book, you are missing out on one of life's wonders.Book Review: One of the best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the Essential Calvin and Hobbes best. As I have other collections also: Authoritave, Indispensable, It's a magic world, There's treasure everywhere, The days are just packed, Something under the bed is drooling and Yukon Ho. I think the big books includes comics from the small books, so I think I've read all of them, except the tenth anniversary.
