** The book as a whole feels like some strange parody of Garfield rather than something from the actual series. Even the sections of the book that aren't intended to be scary, such as "In The Beginning" and "Babes and Bullets", give off a surreal and uneasy vibe that adds to the books odd nature. The book as a whole is very similar in both style and tone to the infamous WebVideo/LasagnaCat.
