Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons (Calvin & Hobbes) (Volume 10)
In Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons, Calvin suffers a host of hardships. He gets attacked by his new two-wheeler bike. Hobbes gets kidnapped by Susie, a slimy girl. His father cancels Calvin's personal TV network. Self-multiplying deranged mutant killer monster snow goons threaten to take over the yard. And if that wasn't enough, the ethicated duplicate of Calvin's good side wreaks havoc with his reputation by doing good deeds.
Yet Calvin conquers all with his irrepressible spirit and a little help from alter-egos Spaceman Spiff, Stupendous Man, and Tracer Bullet, private eye. Readers are delighted by Calvin's resourceful wit, which applies to everything from philosophical speculations to attempts to outsmart his parents.

A Must Buy for all Ages
Why I purchased: This is one of two books that I purchased of Calvin and Hobbes. I remember reading the same Calvin and Hobbes book over and over as a child whenever I stayed at my grandmother's, so as soon as I remembered that childhood memory, I knew I had to buy more. I remember enjoying these comics so much, laughing at jokes I didn't understand at the time, and I knew that I needed to grab hold of more of them, something I could not do at my young age. What I love: I love how timeless and hilarious these jokes are! I didn't understand them when I was younger, and I remember pulling out the dictionary when I didn't know certain words, so I learned a bit for my young age. If you have never heard of these comics, you NEED to get this book! Yes, it's a comic, but to me, it's funnier than the Peanuts. I know lots of people disagree with me, but there's something sentimental and original about these comics. It couldn't hurt to try! Also, this book is cheaper here than in Barnes and Noble, so I totally recommend getting it here. Bill Watterson was a genius at his craft; you won't regret buying this book, especially if it's your first Calvin and Hobbes book. What I don't love: There is nothing that I don't love! Conclusion: If you have a young child starting to read, this is awesome. If you used to read these comics, get them again! It'll be like walking down memory lane; just do it, how could you regret rereading jokes that you probably have forgotten? The jokes are timeless, the vocabulary makes it interesting, and the jokes are hilarious. For new and old readers alike, if you don't own this book, you need to!

Great
Classic that still holds up
I used to read the Calvin & Hobbes books when I was a kid and remember them fondly. I have now bought all of the books for my own kids. We enjoy reading them together every night (I laugh out loud frequently at these strips, so it's something I look forward to as well). My older son is an avid reader, and has already re-read the books we've finished multiple times. He doesn't seem to get tired of them. The biggest difference I've seen is in my younger son. When I tried reading other books with them at bed time, he'd always wander off or start playing with something else. With Calvin & Hobbes, not only does he stay put (miracle!), but he asks questions about what all the big words mean, and he shocked me the other day when I came across him reading one of these books. Voluntarily. On purpose. With access to plenty of other things to play with. So yeah, definitely worth buying!

Charming, Funny, and Heart-Warming--Even for Adults
I caught several of these on "Daily Deals" the other day and I'm so glad I splurged and got them for myself. I laughed more reading this book than I've laughed in a long, long time. I love how it's easy to zoom in and out as needed, and slide the panels along. I thank the publisher for formatting that way from the bottom of my warm little heart, I bought myself a comic from one of the big names in publishing and couldn't do that with their book. :( My vision isn't perfect, so being able to zoom in and navigate is a pleasure ( I use an older Kindle 7" HDX). I do wish there was a way to bookmark favorite panels to revisit later, though. I'm very happy with this purchase. I enjoyed every minute with Calvin and Hobbes. I'm sure I'll enjoy the other books just as much. I love Calvin and Hobbes. :)
