Grumpy Cat, Volume 1 by Ben McCool

Grumpy Cat, Volume 1Grumpy Cat, Volume 1 by Ben McCool
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

** I received a timed e-copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.**
------------------------------------
Sardonic humor and misadventures abound!

Another atypical book for me, this comic book chronicles some of the adventures of Grumpy Cat and her younger brother, Pokey. I found parts of the book highly amusing, but overall it wasn't really my cup of tea. I am sure my kids would be thrilled to get their hands on this for reading. The illustrations are very well done.

I would recommend the book for kids/teens with a sarcastic sense of humor, and love of animals.

Laugh-out-loud FUN! A friend had introduced me to this comic via Facebook, and several of the panels I'd seen there were included in this book.

Obviously this is not a "typical" book, and therefore I really can't review it in the same manner I normally do. I would say, if you are a parent (or a grandparent) with a sarcastic sense of humor this comic (and therefore book) are for you! Yes, as the play on words in the name implies, there is some foul language occasionally, but it is almost always exactly where and when you would use it as a parent.
Between my laughter and my daughter's (who started reading over my shoulder) I'm surprised my dad didn't ask what was going on.
