Customer Reviews

Zits

Whether you have raised a teenage boy (or girl) or not, you will find the character of Zits to be hilariously funny and totally endearing.

Hilariously Funny

If you like Foxtrot, you will love the Zit's series. The book is hilarious and continues to follow with the life of Jeremy and his relationship with Sara. My brother should totally relate wit this guy, but it's a funny book from start to finish and I would highly recommend it.

Amazing!

This cartoon's collection is amazing! How can you pick a dull teenager and his friends with a normal dull life, for a teenager, and put such funny and amazing stories? It has to be J. Scott and J. Borgman, two very talented guys, who probably have some teens like this at home!

Almost as funny as the three previous compilations

I agree with the previous reviewer who says that the pace and the flow of good ideas seem to have dropped off with this fourth compilation. There is only so much you can do with the "sitting outside on the roof" series of gags and similarly there are limits to exploring the conflicts with parents/girlfriend etc. Still, it's more amusing than most of the competition.

Going strong

Maybe not as good as the earlier books, it fells like some ideas are re-used and the story stands still for a while, but if you like Zits, its a safe buy. New material through the whole book.
