Summary: Say goodbye to adulthood concerns!
Review: If you are somebody that is like me, you have to be an adult too much of the time in daily life....if you are also like me you use books like this to remind you that happiness is in your heart and you can find it and keep it alive in the world that does not promote the childhood happiness that we all remember. All of these books are read over and over again by me, and they never seem to lose their splendor or innocent happiness. These books can help a person go into their own realm and find the child inside them that they so longingly miss and desire. Truely this is a comic that can bring the rainiest day sun and help the hardest frown turn into a smile....there is a piece of all of us in Calvin and Hobbes.

Summary: Excellent
Review: The Calvin and Hobbes strips have been sorely missed for four long years. There has never been a strip since so wonderfully drawn or insightful. This is a perfect ending to a perfect strip[if there had to be an ending....] Calvin and Hobbes took a decidely ''alternive'' view toward life, a viwe un duplicated since...

Summary: First you laugh, then you cry
Review: This is another outstanding collection of Calvin and Hobbes cartoons that are, as always, humorous as well as being little works of art on their own. When you come to the end, however, there's that sad feeling of knowing that its the end of the line as far as the strip is concerned. The same drive that made Bill Watterson perhaps the most brilliant cartoonist ever caused him to pull the plug on his beloved creations when he thought that he had given it all he could give. It is a rare thing for anyone in the entertainment business to know when to call it quits. Perhaps, instead of being sad, we should say, "hats off."

Summary: Stupendous Man and a Tiger in Jams
Review: This final Calvin and Hobbes collection, with it's watercolor cover of good memories, seems almost a horrid understatement to the meaning the collection had for the millions of Calvin and Hobbes fans. For the last time, we were going to see Suzie Derkins clobbered with a snowball, Spaceman Spiff disover strange and weird aliens, the Transmogrifier/Duplicator/Time Travel Machine. Never again would we get to wake up to Calvin and Hobbes in the morning newspaper, whether it was Calvin off informing Dad about his ratings among 6-year-old white males or Hobbes lusting for Suzie Derkins with those Jams ("Oh! He's in Jams!").For anyone who enjoyed Calvin and Hobbes on any level, "It's a Magical World" is a must buy along with the "10th Anniversary Special". And even though the last Calvin and Hobbes currently hangs on my wall, a clipping from the final day of the strip, for those that didn't go to such extreme measures, it's extremely emotional to see that final moment with our favorite little spiky-haired 6-year old and his stuffed tiger sledding off into their Magical World.

Summary: Incredible is the only word
Review: I loved Calvin and Hobbes when it was in the paper and I love it just as much now even though it's gone. Waterson is a true genius and has given us the most fall-over hilarious, touching, wonderful, brilliant comic strip of all time. Calvin and Hobbes are simply immortal characters. Professional novelists can spend there whole lives trying to create one character half as amazing as these two. I always will love Calvin and Hobbes and fifty years from now I still see myself opening up a Calvin and Hobbes collection and, as I have done so many times before, laughing my head off. Thank you Bill, your work has truly had an impact of me, and I'm sure millions of others. You are simply the best. There is no other way of saying it.

Summary: The last Calvin and Hobbes collection
Review: Ever since I learned to read I have loved Calvin and Hobbes. These comic strips are hilarious, and they say a lot about life and childhood. I really miss Calvin and Hobbes being in my newspaper every day. Every time I read the last one, it almost makes me cry.

Summary: A Sad parting to a wonderful Comic
Review: I have been a loyal Calvin and Hobbes reader since I first heard about the strip, about 4 years ago. I can't say I was there from the beggining(not that many people were, the first strip appeared in only 54 newspapers), but I have all but three of the books, which I am planning to get soon. I have read every single comic that had been put in a book collection, and this book is one of his best. I still wish he was writing Calvin and Hobbes, even if he just put out book collections and didn't do newspapers, so he wouldn't have to worry about deadlines. Anyway, for any Calvin and Hobbes fan, this book is a must!

Summary: It's the last of this stupendous series of books by Waterson
Review: It is a great book and if you are a Calvin and Hobbes fan, this one will have it's own space in your heart. It own's the final comic strip of Calvin and Hobbes. I think Bill Waterson made a mistake when he quit making the strip, but it is still one of the better books in the series. As I said before, if you are a Calvin and Hobbes fan, this one will own a special part in your heart because you know it's the last one, and it ends with a great personality of Calvin that we just wish that it is possible to Calvin's own free will (not the going to school part, but his great fun and laughs between school strips.).
