Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Surprised
Review: I was really surprised when i get this book, because i was expecting a book, that showned how they do it, but this one tells each legend in one page. It's not what you want, unless you're searching for a full urban legend index, THEN BUY IT!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best gift book for guys!
Review: If you love urban legends and comic books you will love this book. Everyone I have given it to loves it and everytime I buy it for myself it gets "borrowed" and I have to buy another copy. It is perfect for reading with friends, the one-page stories are great for starting conversations. I also loved the comic book format showcasing different illustrators.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I did not know it was like a comic book print.
Review: It would probably be O.K. if I knew it was like a comic book type book. But that is not what I was looking for.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I could not put it down!
Review: Once I began to read this book, I could not stop! Each page was fascinating, as well as beautifully drawn. I highly recommend all of the "Big Book" series, they all rock big time!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: not a comic book fan
Review: The stories are interesting, but I bought the book intending to be scared and by putting it in comic book form that was taken away from me. That should be mentioned before purchasing that it was written in that form. The stories are also too short. They took a long scary urban legend and shortened it so much it just wasn't fun. So basically, I was very disappointed in the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A TRUE GUT BUSTER AND MIND WRENCHER
Review: THIS BOOK HAD TO BE THE BEST THAT I HAVE EVER READ! ITS CONSTANT MYTHOLOGY AND COMEDIC EFFECT, CATCHES YOUR ATTENTION. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN TWISTED YET ENTERTAINING MYTHOLOGY.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A comic book, with illustrations of well-known urban myths
Review: This book is a compilation of black-and-white, comic book illustrations of popular urban myths. If you are into that sort of art, then the book is worthwhile, but it is not for those who are seeking any analysis or in-depth information about urban legends.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You Will Not Be Able To Put This Book down
Review: This book is a really great, and interesting book. From the killer in the backseat, to an exploding poodle, this book has all types of entertaining tales. If you don't by this book, you are missing out!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Interesting Reading.. Great Cartoons
Review: This book is made up of hundreds of Urban Legends with black & white cartoon drawings to describe the story.. This is made up almost like a comic book.. When I found that out I thought that it would take away from the stories and make the book seem cheesy.. but it doesn't.. in fact it helps the book! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about Urban Legends.. It left me wondering only one thing... Why wasn't the Taco Bell roach story in there??

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fascinating Work of Illustrated Urban Legends
Review: This book is one of the best story illustrated literature out. It tells all the stories everyone has heard at parties, work, or in the subway. Here are all the favorites easily categorized in Automobile, Animal, HORROR, Accident, Sex, Crime, and many more legends. Truly a remarkable reference to society's favorite tales. Recommended to all!
