Customer Reviews

GREAT GARFIELD AS ALWAYS

This book is as good as Garfield has always been. I could only afford to buy the first 4 books as a kid. I never was able to by any of the others during their original run. I remember reading parts of this book in K-Mart as a kid wishing I could get it. I also read these strips in the newspaper.

It's MISSING the last page of the original release!

Is Jim Davis trying to pull a George Lucas on us? All of these re-released full-color books are missing the final page of the original release books. This re-release Fifth Book (Takes The Cake) is missing the "Garfield Characters That Didn't Make It" special page that was the final page of the original release. It would be a shame to have the special comic lost to time. Luckily I have all the originals. Normally I should give a 1-Star rating to show my displeasure with the missing content of this release. However, I simply can't bring myself to give a poor rating to a Garfield book.

Garfield takes the cake...and eats it too

I don't know what it is about Garfield that still gets me to buy his books ever year. I have been a fan since I was in second grade, will be 22 years in September. I think what appeals me to the lazy fat cat is his sharp wit and cynicism. Just like Garfield, I hate Mondays with an immense passion and I love lasagna. One of my personal favorite books in the entire series is "Garfield Takes the Cake", the fifth volume of Garfield comic strips. I loved it when Garfield's grandfather pays Garfield a visit. I thought it was a nice touch. I got to see where Garfield got his looks from. I also loved it when Garfield met Arlene. Talk about oil and water. Arlene is definitely Garfield's equal when she is able to match wits with the fat cat. And I love all the fat jokes Jon makes and Garfield's reaction. The camping expedition is a definite classic Garfield moment. No matter how old I get, I can never get tired of reading Garfield. He is my escape from a crazy world known as reality.

GARFIELD RULES!

Garfield is the best! Buy this book and ALL of his other books today cuz he is hilarious and every single one of his books are great!
