Summary: It got me through the war in Iraq....
Review: A friend in San Francisco mailed this to me last year just prior to the start of combat in Iraq. I sat up late at night with mortars and artillery booming, and laughed my ass off. To make matters worse, there was a guy in my platoon who is from the Castro who's mom and grandmother used to enjoy making cocktails and watching Matlock topless. He was talking about it one day (he's 18, and hadn't heard of the book), and when I showed it to him, he just had a strange look on his face and said he would call home when he could...

Summary: A revenge fantasy for the masses!
Review: Erika Lopez is a true Equal Opportunity Offender, in the ranks of Howard Stern and the Farrelly brothers (There's Something About Mary). Her humor is shriekingly, gross-out funny. I found myself screaming "EW! NO WAY!" out loud (and by myself) as I read Mad Dog. Aside from the incredible sound-bite imagery, the storyline makes you eat this whole book in one sitting. Mad Dog is a more fully realized narrative than Flaming Iguanas, showing Lopez' growth and confidence as a writer. Her artwork, as always, is gorgeous, this time geared more towards line drawings than stamp art, drawings of bodacious, Chiquita fruit bearing, thigh-weilding, pastie-wearing babes! A jilted Tomato aka Mad Dog Rodriguez is the antiheroine for anyone of any sexual proclivity who's ever indulged a revenge fantasy.

Summary: Amazing
Review: Erika Lopez never ceases to amaze me with her artwork and brilliant stories. Every time I finish a book by Erika, I'm inspired to write and write and write and write. The storyline is this book is hilarious and amazing. I can't say enough great things about this book. Oh yeah, and it made me reconsider killing my exes. Or not.

Summary: Yay!
Review: Even more fun than 'Flaming Iguanas!!' Damn, it's so difficult to write about why this book was so good without sounding stilted and phony. It's great because just about everyone can identify with Tomato's revenge fantasies, impulsiveness and goofy melodramatic streak, not to mention her social faux pas. It's lots of fun to get the vicarious thrill of watching her act out her deranged fantasies since most of us are really too inhibited to carry out much more than a low-key stalking of an ex. It's also great to see characters that are as weird as the psychos I come across in the course of my day. :)

Summary: EMC and FMPs, Read to know!
Review: This book is hilarious...I was literally laughing out loud...My friend recommended it to me, and I couldn't put it down...I suppose reading it in Sophomore Algebra wasn't the best plan, but at least I had enough sense to hide it from my mom, but I guess if you are a legal adult you won't have these problems...ENJOY!
