My Cat's Not Fat, He's Just Big-Boned

Rating:
Summary: Extremely funny book
Review: Anyone who enjoys Nicole Hollander's sly and amusing view of the world will like this book; anyone with a particular fondness for cats probably will, too. If you have ever tried to imagine your cat's motives for doing the things they do, you will enjoy Sylvia's cats, whose motives are hilarious. Many of the jokes are probably above the heads of children, but even they will enjoy the antics the cats get up to.

Summary: It's as great -- and even better -- than her previous books
Review: I bought this book from Amazon.com about two months ago and, as an admitted cat lover, am still loving this book dedicated to cats (and a small section to dogs). It's on my desk to my right and whenever I need a laugh, I just open up to any one of the pages. Thanks, Nicole!

Summary: If you think really hard.... you might get one of the jokes!
Review: I saw the cover of this book, and thought it would be a funny addition. I coulden't wait to get it, and laugh my socks off. Once again.. Don't judge a book by it's cover. She has a few funny art clips, but nothing great. I found the book to be more of a put down, than funny. The book is black an white. Not color like the cover. It has 111 pages, and maybe a little cute art. Not a book I would recommend. Why bother wasting your time?

Summary: An all new cartoon collection from "Sylvia" cartoonist
Review: Nicole Hollander brings you cats who think too much, cats who hypnotize their owners, cats who plot dastardly deeds but get distracted, cats who think they're the kids, and of course cats obsessed with food, food, food. Nicole Hollander's "Sylvia" cartoon strip is nationally syndicated by the Los Angeles Times syndicate.

Rating:
Summary: More fun some repetition
Review: Nicole Hollander's grasp of cat-human relations (you'll note which comes first) is pure genius, and in this second collection she was again delivers some of the most side-splitting bits of prose I've ever come across. Of course, to be fair, I do suppose you have to be something of a cat lover (or at least, live with cats) to understand her wit and humor -- in other words, the concept of two cats holding their owner's 1040 hostage for food might be lost on the uninitiated.

The only negative thing I will say is that this particular volume, "My Cat's Not Fat, He's Just Big Boned", contains some of the same material as her earlier "Everything Here Is Mine", which is the only reason I gave it four stars and not five.

Summary: Here's how your cat really thinks...
Review: Nicole Hollander's Sylvia comic strip is one of the most overlooked (and most hilarious) strips out there. She has many colections out there ("My weight is always perfect for my height--which varies" "You can't take it with you so eat it now" "That woman must be on drugs" etc). She is the Anti-Cathy. She is sarcastic and wacky...dry and droll...and literate and witty. Best of all she has many cat themed collections which are a hoot. THIS one is probably the best. So if you are on the look out for a laugh or if you are a cat person who wonders what is going on inside the walnut-sized brain of your favorite fur-person, the Sylvia collections (especially this one) are just the ticket!
