Advantages: the imagination of a child is a wonderful thing
Disadvantages: Hobbes isn't real!!!!

...Bill Watterson is a complete genius with an imagination the size of a planet, and fear not, this is no exageration.

I can honestly say this is one hell of a page turner! If you've heard the rock opera version or seen the american 50's movie, forget them and treat yourself to the real thing. The compelling tale of one mans odyssey in the face of a vast invasion from Mars of nasty lipless aliens with more than a GCSE in metal work. They build huge tripods... Read review
