Bloom County: A Fresh Start for a Brand New Day

rick: I bought a new hope, and brand spanking new day, along with the best read on the throne at the same time, and swim fast through them all. These tomes giver me strengths and sense of better than this from creations of amazing ways to say so much.

You are younger than I, Berserker Breathed, but fast align and alley with better sense

James L. Ball: As mentioned before in previous reviews of Berkeley Breathed book reviews, this is for children of all ages, including us 69 year old's. I have pretty much everything ever published starting with the original Bloom County strips. He tends to drop out and come back a few years later with a new approach, some new characters, but then starts incorporating his standard stable of stars. The one constant through out the strip series is the indomitable Penguin Opus (Refer back to meeting Boy George). If the only previous reference for his work is the much maligned, though not entirely correctly, "Mars Needs Mom" movie, then the current series of books, starting with "Bloom County Episode XI, A New Hope", will be a bit confusing as to who all these characters are. Especially if you are not familiar with the "Outland" or "Opus" series. My best suggestion is go out and buy the first book in each of those series to acquaint yourself with many of the characters brought back for the BC reboot. Warning, you will get hooked and purchase all of them. In an era of a fractured and seemingly hopeless political climate, what we need now is humor, pathos, and belief that there is still an innocence...

Amazon Customer: We love B.B. - not Bardot - Breathed! Well, OK; her too. After all, she likes animals! Why don't people this smart, talented, thoughtful and compassionate govern the world?

Stephane Lacoste: I have been a fan since the late 80's and this book did not disappoint me. I like how Breathed' drawings have evolved too. Well worth the money.

Ravzender: Bloom County shenanigans are back in Berkeley's new book. The denizens of Bloom County really have a way of taking current events and cranking them up a notch to show us how absurd they can be. Since he is writing freer and not constrained to a newspaper deadline, he can respond quickly to current events. This is evident in this book. However, without proper context, I feel some of the jokes will be lost as time passes. It would have been nice to include a little note, or date, of the original posting of some of the comics, like when Carrie Fisher died, so that ten years from now, we can understand how disheartening Opus feels. Overall, the book is great and will bring laughter into your world.

ASH70: Its Opus. Opus is wonderful. And so is this book. Wish I could get the Kindle edition, but I did that with another similar book and it was too small to read and I could NOT make the picture bigger. I still miss the comic strips. I still have my stuffed OPUS. Right now he is on the couch with me. I think "adults" should be able to have stuffed toys. Lost my Bill the Cat when I last moved. Very sad. You will love this book.
