Ratings and reviews

The comics by Matthew are fantastic! However, Google Play Books really made every page so small and pixelated, it's not even readable anymore. There is no way to zoom in, so you're left to wonder what wonderful and witty comments The Oatmeal made in the book. Go buy the real printed paper version in a real bookstore, and avoid the "what the frack is this frack" feeling I had when I tried to flip through the pages on my iPad.

Well, it's fun to read, but the formatting makes me want my money back. In a 7" tablet, the cartoons with dense text are unreadable simply because the letters are not large enough - I don't think this would be a problem on a printed page. But the biggest sin - and I suppose this is Google's fault - is that the bottom of the cartoons is cut off when viewed in common web browsers.on a 15.6" screen, 1600x900 pixels. Seriously, no one checks for formatting errors in Google eBooks?

I originally bought it to share with my 12 year old high functioning autistic son who has an interest in cats. I'll still share an edited version with him, but it would have been good to know about the profanity going in. Oh well. I found it pretty amusing, and the profanity is the only reason for the lower rating.
