Customer Reviews

I almost peed my pants
This is one of the funniest books I've ever read. The illustrations are amazing! They appear to be simple watercolors but are really essential to the story line (if you want to call it that). Bigfoot talks quite openly about his life, his emotions and ambitions. Bigfoot has feelings too. He covers issues ranging from having a tough childhood, not being able to have a date for the prom, weight and body hair issues, and his relationship with Koko the gorilla. You come to realize that Bigfoot is a brilliant misunderstood genius who wishes that his stalkers would leave him alone, but at the same time craves fame and fortune.

Me think this book make life worth living
You really, really want know bigfoot better? He misunderstood, that true. But Graham save Bigfoot from peril of obscurity. Make Bigfoot seem like best friend--same as Sylvia Plath poetry make me want know her. You read this book and be better, OK? Make you forget Iraqi civil war and avian flu.

In Me Own Words
Book best I read in long time. So funny I mark territory outside my house to attract this bigfoot. Join in shocking adventures of curiosity, cannibalism, and tender homeboy stories. This book good. Loc Ness book bad. Opening page sells the book, but I won't tell about it. Buy it or I eat you wallet and then you face.

If you can handle how the this review was written you'll piss your pants laughing. The book is ingenious and is well worth the time it takes to order. Happy reading.
