Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Samurai Cat Goes to Hell is absolutely tremendous!
Review: Mark Rogers is hilarious and erudite! SCGTH is absolutely full of the most vividly bizzare imagery and clever wordplay. Plus, this guy knows more about Chinese history than any Gwailo I've ever read! Anyone who likes dinosaurs, Dante, decapitations, or, (to break the d-pattern,) the films of Ching Siu Tung should check out this book..and the other Samurai Cat books too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can we convince Tor Books to publish the first 4 Samurai Cat
Review: One of the funniest, if not THE funniest books I've ever read. I picked it up on a lark (the title intrigued me) and began reading it shortly after the death of my sister-in-law. If you need a book to snap you out of a depression-this it it! The jokes and puns are wickedly apt (Kurt Loder as a face of Satan?), and some are just plain groaners. All in all, I thorougly enjoyed it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Book Rocks
Review: Rogers end this series with his classic wit. If you enjoed the others from the first one on, you will get just as much out of this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: hahahaoooohhno
Review: Rogers has done it again. The guy must have an incredibly broad range of interests as he lampoons almost everything in the world. I'm sorry to see that this is probably his last SC adventure but I can understand why the corporate mentality reigning at TOR probably doesn't get it. "Bottom line is all that counts dude!" So SC is to become the literary version of TV's mystery science theater. Do any of you feel that every thing you love is doomed to cancellation? Ah well; "gambatte kure" cat lovers (courage!).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book has great jokes, and good adult oriented humor.
Review: This book is great for ages 15-30. Its humor is great , and different from any other book I've read. This book is just the greatest.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Appalling
Review: This book was stomach-churning bad. Mark E. Rogers hit the nail squarely on the head with the originall (and excellent) Samurai Cat. Subsequent books were all downhill; this is the nadir.

Buy the original, skip this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I enjoyed this book a lot
Review: This book wasn't as funny as the previous Samurai Cat installments, largely (I think) because it relies less on satire than it does on its own legs. But it's still a very imaginitive work and many parts made me laugh out loud. All in all, it's very satisfying.

It uses a very clever premise to end the series: Samurai Cat descending into the depths of Hell to avenge his master, where he can re-encounter all of his foes who perished by his blade (or gun, or grenade, or ...) in the previous books. Admittedly, a first-time Samurai Cat reader probably won't catch all the references.

So if you've been following Samurai Cat through the years, what are you waiting for? But if you're a Samurai Cat virgin, then you should probably read at least one or two of the preceeding volumes before attempting this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Perfect Ending
Review: This is the final book of the adventures of samurai cat and what a perfect ending it is. Tomakato and Shiro versus all of their most famous enemies on the battlefield of hell. Mark mixs humor and violence better then any other writer. The jokes run the range from basic gag humor to serious jokes you have a good bit of knowledge to understand. The action is over the top and non-stop. The opening battle between our heroic duo and the hordes of Ghengis Khan is graphic and laugh out loud funny at the same time. Also a plus the book has so of the author's best drawings as well.
