A cute comic for fans of Grumpy Cat. Most stories revolve around Pokey attempting to get Grump excited about something (going on a treasure hunt, being a superhero, Halloween, etc). Grumpy sets out to prove why those things are not so great.I’d say the book is mostly targeting younger fans, though some of the references like Stephen King books, Ol’ Yeller, and the like seem to be meant for a little older audience. For the rare few that don’t know Grumpy Cat, this probably isn’t the best intro to her. For her fans, it's a nice fast read to get a bit more Grumpy in your life.* Disclaimer: I received this book at no cost in order to review it. I offered no guarantee of a positive review, though I only request books I think I'll like because why read a book you think you’ll hate?
I loved it! I've heard so much about Grumpy Cat that I simply had to read all these amazing stories about her and her loyal brother Pokey.I really liked all stories but my top three were for sure Paws of justice, Detective Cats and I know what you did last summer...I just don't care.Also, the illustrations were amazing. Lots of detail and color. I enjoyed the stories even more because of them.In Paws of justice I felt like the roles were reversed, where Pokey was the big hero and Grumpy Cat his sidekick. I enjoyed reading about them saving the neighbourhood.Detective Cats is simply amazing. We get to see Grumpy Cat's brilliancy and just how foxy she can really be. Guess she did have the last laugh after all.This collection of stories ends with I know what you did last summer...I just don't care. It's a wonderful conclusion with new friends that will make you wish for more.All that's left to say is that you should definitely read this volume!
My daughter is a huge fan of the grumpy cat comic book series & this is one of very few books that she will sit & read the entire thing. Many comic books are geared toward an older crowd & are hard for her to follow. This is perfect, easy to follow & fun for her to read. She just turned 9 for reference & is testing at a grade level ahead in reading, but it is a struggle to get her to do it on her own for her own enjoyment. Love anything that makes her want to sit down & read!
I ordered two of these. One for each of my children. They absolutely love it. I've heard all kinds of giggles! This is a great quality hard back book that is well written and enjoyed by all ages in my house.
'Grumpy Cat, Volume 1' by Ben McCool, Royal McGraw, Elliott Serrano and Ben Fisher (among others) is a collection of comics about the internet's grumpiest cat. It's aimed at kids, but some of humor, I think, is a bit dark for a kids comic.Grumpy Cat lives with her younger more exuberant brother Pokey Cat. In the eleven stories featured here, we see Pokey trying to get Grumpy enthused about life, and we see Grumpy trying to get Pokey and the occasional dog in trouble. They investigate a haunted house, dress up like superheroes, and act like detectives when their outdoor food stash gets eaten, among other things. As hard as Grumpy Cat tries, Pokey Cat is the eternal optimistic balance in this duo.My problems occur when Pokey Cat is on a roof, and Grumpy Cat is encouraging him to jump off and probably die. It doesn't happen, but it seems a little over dark for something that seems aimed at kids. Also, it does remind me quite a bit of Garfield, with Pokey playing the part of Nermel and the dog seeming a lot like Odie. The adventures are likeable enough, and I do like Pokey Cat's indominatable spirit.I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Dynamite Entertainment, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
*I received this book as an eARC from Diamond Book Distributors and Dynamite Entertainment in exchange for an honest review*I think everyone that uses the internet is familiar with Grumpy Cat. You've at least seen an image of this beautiful feline. I wasn't that familiar with Grumpy Cat other than the many memes and celebrities Grumpy Cat has been pictured with. I haven't seen the Lifetime movie so I wasn't aware of the character that Grumpy Cat has become. She is a grumpy cat. I guess she is this generation's Garfield.In this comic, Grumpy Cat has a cat companion named Pokey to be the counter to her grumpiness. The meat of the stories come from the interactions between these two cats. They go on many different types of adventures. There is a treasure hunt in a haunted house. They become superheroes and stop criminals. They try to figure out how a cell phone works. There's a story in the style of Sherlock Holmes. There are a lot of different art styles.This comic was fun, but I couldn't really get into it. I'm not that familiar with the Grumpy Cat character so a younger reader who loves the meme may enjoy these stories more. I give this graphic novel a 3/5.
I was really surprised to see that Grumpy got her own graphic novel. Oh yes, Grumpy's a girl. I admit I didn't know that before. It might've been noted somewhere among all these funny meme's, but who reads all these comments anyway ;).This comic is actually a set of stories about Grumpy and Pokey. Pokey, being the enthusiastic and energetic young spirit that comes up with all the crazy and not always smart ideas for the new adventures, and Grumpy - the reasonable and pessimistic part of the story with her usual "self" just as the internet imagined her to be.Their adventures vary from the treasure search to crime-fighting cat-... vigilantes. It might not be especially imaginative, but it will surely make you laugh for so many reasons - the situations, the parodies, the sarcasm and the misfortunes. Totally worth it! Pretty much every page has something to laugh at.I received this books from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.check my reviews and other bookish discussions at [...]
