Garfield's 27th collection
4 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
On June 19, 1978, there was born a "lasagna with fangs". At least, that's how Jon has described his cat Garfield.
Having been on newspapers' comic pages everywhere for almost thirty years, I'm sure I don't have to tell you what Garfield is. You may not have read his strip often (or seen his cartoons, movies, stuffed animals, calenders, inside-the-car-window-sticky-suction-cup-thingies and more), but I'm sure you know who he is if you're looking at the page, so I'm not going to review the comic strip, just the particular collection in this book.
In Garfield dishes it out (his 27th book), Garfield spends Christmas at the farm, has a few snowball fights, "clomps" a few spiders, and is otherwise his usual self. He remains fat, lazy, hungry and cynical. His passive slights at Jon's self-esteem are at their peak in this book. I've read this collection a few times now, and each time is laugh-out-loud funny. Garfield is extremely witty and it's all about the punchlines in this book. In many of the strips in this collection, the third panel is the funniest.
Bottom line: I would recommend any of Garfield's books (even the ones you already own!), but this book is probably one of the best. If you like Garfield, buy this book. If you don't like Garfield, buy this book for someone who does. If you don't know who Garfield is, then... um... well, you've probably been in a coma for the last twenty years, so maybe buying this book shouldn't be your top priority - but keep it in mind for when you get your life back in order.

Excellent
18 Oct 1998
Format:Paperback
This book, like every other Garfield book in the numbered series, is great because of all the jokes, but this one is very special because of a story inside. SWALLOWS HIS PRIDE was great because of the Run-Away-From-Home story, while ROLLS ON was special for the Garfield-Gets-United-With-His-Mom story, but this one goes over the top for the Christmas-on-the-Farm storyline, which is clever, hip, and funny.

GARFIELD RULES!
24 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
Everybody out there keep buying Garfield books! They can be worth a lot of money someday and can become collector's items! I'm always going to keep all of mine so when I have kids they can read them!
