Summary: Watterson's still the best....
Review: Okay, okay, so I'm prejudiced. I knew I would love this book before I read it. What's not to like? Calvin is the quintessential smart-aleck, while at the same time maintaining an innocence that is completely endearing. Whether we identify with Calvin the child or Calvin the child within us, he makes us feel...well, NORMAL. Calvin's quirks are our quirks. Not content to merely AMUSE us, Bill Watterson ENTERTAINS us. Calvin and his family (including, of course, Hobbes) are multi-faceted characters who stir up emotions and explore the angst of being a kid in a grown-up world. (And, for that matter, being a grown-up in a grown-up world!) Whew! What a task! And Bill Watterson does it superbly.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This is by far the best C+H book ever. Last November, I got the book and completed my collection. I have all 15 books that have made millions laugh, and inspired them all. I read my first comic at 6 (I'm 11), and I was instantly inspired. Thanks Bill, for all you've done to make this world a better place. Bill was right, this is a magical world

Summary: Review of IT'S A MAGICAL WORLD, a Calvin and Hobbes Book
Review: It broke fan's hearts when they heard it. Bill Watterson was retiring from the Calvin & Hobbes business. IT'S A MAGICAL WORLD is Bill Watterson's last Calvin & Hobbes collection, and it keeps the original life of Calvin and Hobbes the same, but all new comics come in. The only put down of this book is that if a seven year-old buys it, some of the jokes may be hard for them to understand it. Myself, owning seven other Calvin & Hobbes books, think this is by far the best one. Don't get me wrong, now. All the others I have would be at least a seven on the rating scale. This is truly one of the best books I've ever read, though I also read chapter books, and the best Calvin & Hobbes book I've read. If you like Calvin & Hobbes, but need some new good comics to read, this is a must buy. At a store, I would buy it for twenty dollars. Although, the list price is a good fifteen dollars, why not order it from Amazon.com? It's only $13.45. I remember a few weeks ago, I was out to buy a Calvin & Hobbes book, but I didn't know which one to choose. My choices were THE AUTHORATIVE CALVIN AND HOBBES, THERE IS TREASURE EVERYWHERE, and IT'S A MAGICAL WORLD. I bought IT'S A MAGICAL WORLD,not knowing what to expect. I had only read about fifteen pages when I decided it was the best choice I could have made, and that I should put a review on it. For you fans with broken hearts out there, you can keep the pride of Calvin & Hobbes forever, with the best collection. You can buy what you want, but for everyone, IT'S A MAGICAL WORLD will cheer you up any day. Happy Reading!

Summary: Collection of childlike comics and resourceful humor
Review: Bill Watterson's Calvin & Hobbes Collection, that contains great jokes and beautiful art. Bill Watterson and his drawing tools do great work, and he hasn't forgot the humor. Great book for all those Calvin & Hobbes comics fans out there!

Summary: A combination of magic and rebellion.
Review: Watterson takes you back through those childhood moments when you secretly plotted to overthrow the world (or at least your home and school) in order that proper justice might prevail. The reader is reminded that one's only ally in many of those instances existed only in his or her mind. Don't be ashamed to place this one on the coffee table. It will be picked up over and over and over.

Summary: The Last of the Magic
Review: This is the final collection of comics from CALVIN AND HOBBES, arguably my favorite comic strip of all times. Cartoonist Bill Watterson chose to retire before he drained all the magic out of his characters. While I'm disappointed, that is probably wise since this collection shows he was still at the top of his game.

Calvin can make an adventure out of everything, whether it's having Susie over for an afternoon (a great day for GROSS), trying to get out of school, playing Calvinball with Rosalyn, or putting off a leaf collection project until the very last night, his antics are sure to make you laugh. The genius of the strip is that we're often laughing at ourselves. Hobbes's comments are often funny and true, and watch out for the Chewing magazine strips. They hit a little too close to home.

This strip got better as it went along, and there is some classic stuff here. It's a little bitter sweet reading the last few knowing it's the end. And I still want to know what the noodles incident was.

While there are some strips out there I enjoy, I still miss this great strip. If you somehow managed to miss it, pick up any book today. It's guaranteed to have you laughing in no time.
