Rating: Summary: In Me Own Words Review: Book best I read in long time. So funny I mark territory outside my house to attract this bigfoot. Join in shocking adventures of curiosity, cannibalism, and tender homeboy stories. This book good. Loc Ness book bad. Opening page sells the book, but I won't tell about it. Buy it or I eat you wallet and then you face.If you can handle how the this review was written you'll piss your pants laughing. The book is ingenious and is well worth the time it takes to order. Happy reading.
Rating: Summary: Me no type good...me laughing TOO hard Review: During the course of reading this book, I experienced the following sensations: loss of breath due to laughter-induced entire body spasms; temporary blindness resulting from overactive tear ducts (also caused by laughter); and total inability to control my bladder. Similar symptoms have occurred in all parties exposed to Graham Roumieu's explosive treasure, including my friends, family, co-workers, ex-boyfriend, editor, landlord, grocery clerk, and orthopedic surgeon.
Other reviewers say they ALMOST peed their pants laughing. But the fact is, they're just embarassed to admit that they actually did. The other day, I overheard a couple of bookstore clerks complaining because they're constantly mopping up the little puddles people leave behind by the display. True story.
Look, people. Don't make me pull a virtual suckerpunch. Buy this book and THEN come back and tell me that you made it through the whole thing without a tinkle.
Rating: Summary: Need a good laugh? Review: I always thought Bigfoot was a scary monster with no soul or real feelings. This book disabused me of that opinion from the first page. Bigfoot is not a vampire. Bigfoot is an aspiring actor. Bigfoot hates his cat. Bigfoot writes poetry. I never knew. Thanks to this raw, emotionally vulnerable book I feel like I really know Bigfoot. I'm a different person now. Thank you, Bigfoot.

Rating: Summary: The humor is terrific Review: I bumped into this little gem while Christmas shopping. I was laughing so hard just flipping through it in the store, I was starting to cry. So I bought two copies for gifts, and now I'm going back for more. A true masterpiece! The blend of the graphics with the story is pure genius.
Rating: Summary: A total freakin' laugh riot! Review: I dunno if it's the awesome pen & ink and watercolor illustrations or just this guy's wickedly weird but right on sense of humor, but this book ROCKED MY WORLD! I haven't laughed this hard since I don't know when... Bigfoot's cold-chillin' with his beaver and squirrel homies, he's freebasing Slimfast, he's doing a dance called the Honking Ninja. This book is totally recommended to anyone needing a good laugh...
Rating: Summary: Funniest Book I've Ever Read Review: I keep this book on my nightstand for those particularily crueling days with a new 3 month old baby in the house. It always makes me laugh -- especially the Chewbacca page. Pure genius!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Get a diaper- you'll wet yourself laughing! Review: I stumbled across this book in an excellent graphic novel store in Montreal. I picked it up, flipped through it, and began to read... and caused a commotion. I swear to god, I can't remember laughing like that in ages- I mean, mascara running, eyes crying, shaking and shrieking laughing. Bigfoot is a sensitive, misunderstood soul. He writes poetry about his personal pain ("I hit you with log"), makes friends in Las Vegas at a roulette wheel, and talks about the love/hate relationship with his fans ("I not Chewbacca" "No splash me with holy water- it no work"), along with other subjects important in his life. The illustrations capture the spirit of the book- they are messy, inky and full of energy. If you have a dry sense of humour, appreciate the absurd, and dig character-based comedy you have found the perfect book. I ordered it for a gift for someone and I've flipped through it again before wrapping it, and it's still left me laughing as hard as when I first read it- that in itself says something.
Rating: Summary: Need a good laugh? Review: I was doubled over laughing at this hilarious book. The text is witty, smart, and playful. Illustrations are great and essential to the story line. read carefully- there are some real jewels in here! For bigfoot lovers and anyone with a sense of the absurd.
Rating: Summary: If you want your friends to look at you funny... Review: If you want your friends to look at you funny, buy this book and show it to them. I bought it based on the recommendation of some author on NPR, and I hunted it down, it's HILARIOUS! Warning though: not all your friends will get it. Too bad for them! THe drawings are quirky and funny, the text almost made me wet my pants. My only complaint is it's too short! If you like this, order "A Really Super Book About Squirrels", by the same illustrator. THe text isn't nearly as goofy, but the drawings are just great.
