How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You

Best book ever

"This is the guide I needed to convince my husband against having a cat" - my dearest wife Sharp and a 100 percent fact laden humor! Cats are aloof. They own you and NOT the other way round. I am not so afraid of an alien invasion as of cats rising to power. Be ware of the catkind, HUMANS! For all those wannabe cat lovers, this is your bible. Get it read!

I did understand that this is a picture book, but....the office piece was stretched I think. Well, that's the end

Kind of a let down. It's not about me being a cat person or not. But the text, the script and the script seem too desperately trying to make it work. The first section was funny and awesome. Still then I was confused why the first few pages were contradictory with the title. It was all about knowing your cat and not on how to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you. I actually heaved a sigh of relief when in the next section the actual content showed up. It damn disappointed me. The illustrations got worse. The dialogues were plain boring and too trying. I almost dnfed this quick read. I know about cats too even though I am a dog person. But the later half of the book is just too...I don't care at all! Not funny at all.

It's the perfect depiction of the consciousness of a cat, draw by the Oatmeal. Couldn't be better, unless a cat was narrating it.

So I just got my book today, and not to repeat other reviews but come on, rate the product for what it is, not due to your lack of understanding! So first, since I ordered the print version, I've gotta say the thing that most concerned me before ordering was the quality of the printing. This is a very cheap book, as in price-wise, it's on the low end particuarly for a high-color book, and I feared the print quality would suffer as a result. However, I've gotta say, the print quality is phenomenal. Nice thick glossy pages (but not so thick that the entire book is like 10 pages), spot-on high quality color printing, it just feels nice. The comics are also hilarious, but as other reviewers have commented, much of it is already on the 'net. That being said, I wasn't really shocked and personally, I don't think that's all that much of a problem. Many books merely gather web content, and many of them don't even provide new content as well! I have a post-secret book, which even though it's all online, seeing it in print is worth the price (if you like that kind of stuff). Heck, many comic series are free (Hobbes, Garfield, etc) yet I still buy those books as well. Anyways, the gist of it is yes, much of the book is already online, but some of it is not; if you absolutely love the Oatmeal comics the new ones are worth it, if you're kinda "meh" on the ones that area already online such as "How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You", then no, the new content isn't worth it. Funny, but not pee your pants hilarious. Finally, This leads me to my one complaint, but again, I'd say it's also personal opinion: I wish the book was larger. While I can see and appreciate how neatly Inman organized the comics to work in a normal novel-size book, I think comics lend themselves to more "creative" book sizes, particularly when they are somewhat conversation-piece oriented. Personally, I actually would have liked a 10"x14" hardbound version, but I think Matthew did this probably to make the piece more affordable. Like I said, that's personal opinion, but I'm not going to knock off stars because Matthew didn't personally make and design the book to my exact specifications. The book is solid, and more then worth the price of admission.

The fact that this is advertised as a bestseller should be used to show how low people's standards are. The "book" consists of a shamefully limited amount of pages of incredibly unfunny comics, most of which are not even related to cats trying to kill you. I wasted 10 minutes of my life, and the "book" went straight into the garbage.

Hilarious and great quality. Christmas gift for my partner as we are pretty sure my cat is plotting to kill him haha!

Die Bücher von Oatmeal sind toll, kann jedes wärmstens Empfehlen, wenn man mal keine klassische Lektüre genießen möchte, sondern super Humor und schöne Illustrationen. Kaufempfehlung von mir!
