I know why I read this book (wife bought it for me as a joke), but why did you read it?

Apparently the answer is nothing would happen!

This book is kind of boring, self-important, and completely humorless, but it is also essentially a really good story. I'll probably end up reading the other books in the series too, as I want to know how the story ends.

Overall, I enjoyed this book, but at times it felt like Robbins was trying too hard. This annoyed me and there were at least two parts when I wanted to stop reading all together. I did not, however, and now I'm glad that I finished it.

I didn't like this book at all. Almost all of the characters were intolerable, hateful, and selfish. It seems to bill itself as a comedy, but nothing even close to funny happens until the last two chapters or so.

Some people really like this book, but I don't really understand why. I, at various times, thought that it was silly, overwrought, absurd, or trying too hard.

I didn't finish this book. It contains Superman comics from the 50's, which, it turns out, are so unbelievably stupid that I just couldn't take it anymore.

There's some pretty neat comics in this book, but some of them can be challenging or tedious. I also wonder if all of these were really published in 2006. The guest editor on this book is Harvey Pekar of American Splendor fame and you can really tell, since a lot of the entries lean toward his autobiographical style.

I both loved and hated this book. It is super informative and really interesting, but whenever I was reading a chapter, I would just want it to end. This is the kind of book that you really only appreciate after you finish it.

This book has a really great twist ending, but I'm still not all that sure what happened.

This book has it all: action, drama, comedy, and diagrams. There is something wonderful on literally every page of this book.

This book is very dense and boring, but it is also very informative.

The most notable thing about this book is the way that the author is able to sustain the voice of a very complicated character. Even without that, though, this would still be a very compelling story. I read this entire book in one sitting.

I know that this is really supposed to be something akin to a coffee table book, but I read it all the way through. There is something to laugh at on every page.

I really like this book, but I also find it really unsettling for reasons that I can't quite identify.
