Rating: Summary: Funny , enjoyable and true to life Review: If you like zits I recommend you buy this book it has some of the earliest comics in it so if you are even a slightly recent reader they will probably be new to you. If you don't follow zits I recommend that you do. The comics are always funny, enjoyable and nice to look at. Not to mention true to life, this is exactly the way a 15-year-old boy would act towards his friends, parents and life, albeit with a slightly comic spin. This being the first zits sketchbook I recommend you start with this one.
Rating: Summary: Great Strip Review: It's funny that someone mentioned the likeness to Calvin and Hobbes, because there are some strips where Jeremy looks just like an older Calvin...I think it's in his mouth. I guess Hector's his Hobbes. This strip is fabulous; I wanted to cut out the strip almost every day in the newspaper, then realized I should get the book. As a 17-year old I can entirely relate to Jeremy.
Rating: Summary: The best book I have ever read about teenagers!!! Review: Jim Borgman and Jerry Scott capture the life of a family with teens. I feel as if they were living in my house. Great story lines and terrific art. Jeremy reminds me of my cousin, in fact the whole family seems very familiar!!!!
Rating: Summary: A must for any serious cartoon strip fan Review: Not a false step anywhere as the authors take us through the existence of a typical 15-year-old male teenager, Jeremy Duncan. I don't remember having much fun at that age, but this is a hysterically funny portrayal of life at a most challenging time
Rating: Summary: Borgman and Scott obviously remember being young Review: Quite possibly the best book about being a teenager, what with the best friends, nervousness around girls, and wishing your parents didn't, well, exist. A great book!
Rating: Summary: Super book for the whole family! Review: Remember when mom and dad were "pains" and how they suddenly became intelligent when you reached the twenties? Jeremy is living through this complex event, sometimes with maturity, but usually in his own world of being smarter than his dumbfounded dad, and many words ahead of his quick-comeback mom. Underlying the narration of this familiar time of life is a theme of strong family love which makes the entire comic strip a wonderful read. Good work, Borgman and Scott! Wish our Pittsburgh newspaper would carry your strip.

Rating: Summary: Simply Charming in its Frankness. Review: So, Calvin and Hobbes are gone.Micheal and Elizabeth Patterson are no longer teenagers. Where does one find the humor of teenagers and children? With this marvelous strip, we can be calmed in this world of headphones, Playstation 2's and constant self questioning. Teenagers are given the opportunity to laugh at themselves, with an excuse; they are SUPPOSED to! No one has to reveal that they are laughing at their best friend, or their boyfriend or girlfriend...because it is a comic strip! In the absense of a little boy and his tiger, of two siblings growing up together in Canada, Zits is a new addition to the childhood classics, which will come to be loved by all.
Rating: Summary: "Calvin and Hobbes" meets "Foxtrot" Review: This book is awesome! If I could, I'd give this book six stars; it's that great. Half the stuff in here I can recall happening to me and my family, just not drawn as well. (On my family's part that is.) Have you read it? If so; Kudos to you. If not, What have you been doing all this time?! Just put the book on your shopping cart and buy it already.
Rating: Summary: Every Strip Can Relate Review: This book is full of strips that can relate to almost every teenagers life. Everything from having a girlfriend to the actions made towards the parents by Jeremy(the teenager), and the actions of the parents towards him. After reading this book I found that almost every strip related to me. It's good reading for all ages (if you can read), so I recommend that you check this book out. You won't regret buying it.
