Rating: Summary: I love Garfield, but this change might spoil collector fun. Review: First of all, I would like to say that as a Garfield fan for more than a decade, I can tell when a long running comic ages. Back in the early 80s, there were many crazy Garfield stories in the newspaper strips alone, not to mention the TV specials. These days, the strip focuses on things such as boredom in the house, Jon's lifestyle, and low-key antics. I still enjoy reading Garfield, but Davis is running out of ideas.Second, this compilation of newspaper strips is the first all-color collection, and it's bigger than the other collections. The first 36 books were small and in balck and white. A true collection would have the books all equal in size and content. Besides, Garfield is over 150 in cat years, so will the strip last another decade?
Rating: Summary: Garfield at his hungriest! Review: Garfield is back in a all new book (Garfield Beefs Up)is filled with all new food and fun! Garfield is always eating,pushing Odie off the kitchen table,wrecking Jon's Love life,sleeping,and anything to do with food. I recommand this to all Garfield fans and non-Garfield fans. His funny comics will keep you laughing till the last page. Go ahead and buy Jim Davis's 37th Garfield book,it's sure to make you laugh and a little hungrey!
Rating: Summary: Funny as ever! Review: Garfield is funnier than ever. Fans of the huge cat will need no recommendations as far as the humour and stories are concerned. Moreover, the book has an excellent layout and is all coloured. A very nice touch is the little drawings at the bottom of the page that seem to move when flipping the pages quickly. This book is a great read and would make a great present for kids and adults alike.
Rating: Summary: Gafield is cool! Review: Garfield's new book is awesome. Probably his best book ever.
Rating: Summary: Garfield is back in a brand new look! Review: I have been reading Garfield books for a long time now, and I have wathched him evolve in his animation and personality. He is truly still just as funny as he was when he first started. He has made us laugh through all these years, and is still making books. The book was truly classic Garfield. I hope Jim Davis makes a 50th.
Rating: Summary: New Format? Review: I love Garfield, and his newest book. I don't care for the format however. I have collected the other books for years and have them neatly on my shelf. This new format ruins the look I have going.
Rating: Summary: Garfield, not just another fat cat Review: I still can't believe after all these years he's still going strong! The first book i ever remember reading was "Garfield Takes The Cake" i learned to read on these things! However, i must admit that Jim Davis is starting to run out of ideas. Lately all of his books are about how mentally challenged Jon is, or redo the same lines over and over. The spark is stll there, but its somewhat dimished. This book is still great, but if you look back at the earlier ones you see Garfield coming up w/ better ideas to pass the time (like "Ameoba Man" and "The Sludge Monster" or who could pass up all of Garfields vacations?). Also some of the ideas have changed. In the beginning Jon was a cartoonist, Lyman lived with Jon, Odie was Lyman's pet, and Nermal also used to belong to Jon's parents, those are just a few differences. The book itself has changed too,i like the new color format and all but i kind of miss the black & white version. All in All Garfield is STILL the greatest comic strip ever created, its a must read and he keeps you laughing.
Rating: Summary: Another laugh riot from Garfield Review: I was so used to the old format in the Garfield series, black & white and the book being vertical. Nevertheless I enjoyed Garfield and his constant abusings of Jon and Odie. Reading Garfield in this new format of color and in a taller book form was a pleasant surprise. I can never tire of Garfield and all his antics, especially when he is swatting spiders. I may be inching towards 30 but I will never stop buying Garfield books. As long as he keeps me laughing I'll keep buying.

Rating: Summary: Garfield gets supersized! Review: In this new,lager,full-color format,GARFIELD sperads even more mirth-and girth-to cartoon lovers everywhere(even me). Whether he's dissing Jon's date,kicking Odie off the talble,or beffing up burgers,this well-rounded cat has an appetite for fun!Even has flip animation!
