Customer Reviews

So bizarre that you simply must love it!

I got my copy of "Digesting the Child Within" as a gift and so thoroughly enjoyed it that I've recommended it to all my family and friends. The satirical, dysfunctional and downright literal but offbeat depictions of modern life appeal to you in the same vein that Gary Larson, Bill Waterson, John McPherson (of "Close to Home" comic strip)and Berke Breathed's works do. I also appreciated the autobiographical section neatly tucked in at the end of the book; it explained where John Callahan is coming from in case you are not familiar with him. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys offbeat, intelligent, frank humor and cartoons. Your day will really be lightened by flipping through this book on occasion, so feel free to find a copy & keep it close at hand throughout this bumpy roadtrip called life.

Disgusting, foul and crude...

I loved every page! This is not one you want to leave around for the kids to read, unless they're over thirty. A definite must-read
