Customer Reviews

Another great collection.

I have followed "FBOFW" for many years. Was even pregnant at the same time that Elly was "pregnant" with April. Lynn Johnston captures the ups and downs of family life like no one else. Very enjoyable read!

Another great compilation of hers.

Done it again. I absolutely love For Better or For Worse. The only thing better than reading the series in the paper daily is getting these themed collections of the strips to read over and over again. You can't go wrong here.

Excellent as always

I loved this latest For Better or Worse. I've followed the adventures of Ellie, John, and the kids for years. Reading about Elizabeth's romantic adventures and her grandfather's trial and tribulations are compelling. Watching Michael and his family grow and thrive is cool too, as is watching April's story too. I'd have liked to see a little more about Ellie and John, but that's not really a complaint. Just a suggestion. For Better or Worse is as always funny, heart-warming, and sometimes a little sad.

IT JUST GET BETTER!

Once more Lynn just surprise me with this Home Sweat Home book! You would think that by now all the characters would get into the same routine but NO! The ideas are always fresh and I cannot wait to turn the page to discover all those new story lines!

Another winner

I have read and reread all of Lynn's books and this newest addition is another great collection. This book, more than most shows the major changes that this family has gone through over the years. At times, I still find the portrayal of Mike's kids to be a little too 'syrupy' but otherwise this book is great. I think we have seen the end of an era.
