Mr. McGruder is a powerfully fresh voice for today's enlightened African-American of any age. Put simply, brothah's spittin' some tight knowledge in dis piece! Ya'll better recognize! :o)I found that I would read, then re-read each strip. Once for the pure laughter, and the second time for clarity of the points. You don't have to be Black to enjoy this strip. Just have a conscious. Huey, Riley, and Cesar will make you think while having you roll on the floor. And particularly funny in this book, is the series when Grandpa takes a job as a Census Taker (a sell-out instrument of The Man's Government!). :o) This is a book you MUST have! For added fun, read it with your kids and allow the material to open doors for discussion on varied topics in a humorous way. Highly Recommended!!

Review: If you haven't read The Boondocks, then you are missing some funny and insightful political and social commentary. You won't be well read until you add this to your collection. I'm proud of the work that McGruder has accomplished and look forward to more of his work.

Even though many people liked Calvin and Hobbes for the wrong reasons (need I mention the 'Calvin peeing on a Ford logo' bumper sticker) it was sorely missed after it's ten year run. But finally there's a strip out there that actually makes you think. I'm also glad that there are finally some good liberal role models out there. There aren't enough liberals willing to aggressively take on all the pompous talking heads.

I bought this book on a whim after seeing McGruder's work in The Broke Diaries by Angela Nissel and a negative "letter to the editor" article about his comic strip. I absolutely love this comic strip now and would have read the "funny pages" a long time ago if I'd known it offered a timely, smart, grown-up alternative to Family Circus. McGruder speaks through youngsters for my generation, raising relevant issues but never losing the humor. No one is safe from his wit; not Puffy nor presidential candidates. Not to mention, the artwork is awesome. I enjoyed the subtle shadings in the comic strip and his silly art in The Broke Diaries. If you're not sure what all the fuss is about or you get your news online like me and haven't touched a paper in years, catch up with this collection. The Boondocks might actually make you start buying the paper again.

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: AN EXCELLENT FOLLOW-UP COLLECTION Review: This collection is an excellent follow-up to 2000's Because I Know You Don't Read The Newspaper. It's good to see another strong, interesting character like Caesar join Huey, Riley (...I mean Esco), their granddad, the DuBois family (Jazmine, Tom, and Sarah) and the clueles Cindy in whitebread Woodcrest. This comic is a breath of fresh (no pun intended) air in my daily paper. It's a shame that I only get one new strip a day though. Still, one Boondocks makes up for the void that fills the rest of the page. Thank you Aaron.

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Aaron McGruder hits the nail on the head Review: You do not have to be an African American to fully enjoy this comic. Even though there are a lot of references to POP culture and can sometimes be obscure to some people, they are not the core of the comic. The comic is very intelligent and amusing. Pick up a news paper and read the comic for a week, I bet that by Thursday you will be back here purchasing this book. It is defenetly a must have.
