Bigfoot: I Not Dead
by
Graham Roumieu (Goodreads Author)
In his eagerly anticipated follow-up to "Me Write Book," Bigfoot returns from exile to share his inspiring, hilarious, and often deeply disturbing experiences as a misunderstood forest gentleman and tragic media darling. These entertaining and often grizzly stories stand not only as a testament to the greatness of the legendary man-beast, but also as a chilling c...more

this book is awesome. it's a collection of essays and aphorisms penned by bigfoot in an attempt to have people understand him on a personal level. it's hard to express the subtle humor of this book so i'll give you a little taste of what it's all about. here's what bigfoot has to say to the haters in a piece titled "haters."

if want truth, Bigfoot have bad days too. Not always feel like rainbow and sparkle inside. when feeling blue always find good belly laugh and beat something to death brighten day... think, not so much helpless victim; rather, Moist Towelette For the Soul (tm)
Bigfoot tells hard-hitting truths about life in the forest (bear is a drunk), fame, media exploitation (if go to casting call and producer ask you take off clothes, that not normal), violence, loneliness, and bloody murder for s...more

Bigfoot's self-improvement essay on positive thinking:
GOOD TO GOODER
Bigfoot pretty amazing guy. Most mystifying thing about Bigfoot not really how evade society for so long, not what have hide in blood soak sack or how keep look so good when other forest creature look like shit. You ever wonder "what the fuck I taste secret ingredient in Bigfoot salad dressing?" NO TELL!
Better question you should be ask Bigfoot is "Bigfoot, how you always stay on sunny side of ...more

Vol. III - I guess I've lived three times, now that I've read this third volume of the autobiography of Bigfoot.
An entertaining and quick read and a good gift for those in your life who enjoy a little off-color comedy.
Great illustrations matched with the voice of Bigfoot. What a misunderstood fellow.
Here's another one of Roumieu's crazy books. Again, like the first and second of its kind, this one's written in "Bigfoot's handwriting" with illustrations of the "fringe hominid" taking his shots at humans and living it up the way only Bigfoot can.
The San Francisco Chronicle calls this book "brilliantly funny," but I didn't really get taken up into the humor of this book or in any of Roumieu's Bigfoot works. Again, there were sections where I laughed he...more

First off, this is not a paperback, no matter what Goodreads says.
But about the book. I wasn't interested in this Bigfoot phenomena, sounding like just another pointless humor book. And being from the Pacific Northwest, I had my fill of Bigfoot 20 years ago. But I must admit that I actually liked this book quite a bit! Great art (like the blood!), and a fun character. His back and forth between sensitive/misunderstood and wanting to tear your head off really rings true. As shown in "...more

Bigfoot comes out from behind the confines of our imagination and onto the page to set the record straight. He has feelings too, ya' know. He has been misunderstood for too long and would just like a little respect.
This book is sick and twisted! Just the right amount of off-the-wall. I first picked this up in a bookstore just out of curiosity. I actually thought it was a children's book, which it definitely is not! I was actually giggling out loud while reading it in the store. A mont...more

The first of the Bigfoot memoirs that I have read, it definitely cracked me up in several places. I have two favorite excerpts in this one. In "School Hard Knocks", Bigfoot states that people forget they can't get "medieval" on his ass, since he predates that time. Instead, he'll give out "prehistory lesson". And, in "Good to Gooder" he equates a person he kills to make him feel better as a "Moist Towelette for the Soul". Sad, sick, fun stuff.
This series is really funny. This is the third book. It departs from the everyday average joe types of anecdotes that made the first two so great, and focuses in on some crazier parts of Bigfoot's psyche. It's kind of like how Seinfeld got worse after Larry David stopped writing episodes about stuff that could actually happen you you and me, and the show started being about crazy shit that no one ever experiences.
A well-spent 20 minutes of reading about killing, eating things, poop, and other off-color humor. But then, so is a Family Guy or a Simpsons episode. While it's good and worth reading, I don't think it's 5-star Goodreads good. Sorry Bigfoot. Please don't kill me, eat me, and poop out my bones a few days later for my wife.
Q: Bigfoot, when my Guinea pig wake up? Parents say he sleeping in box in ground in back garden. Suzie, Age 9, Toronto, Canada.
A: Actually Suzie Guinea pig dead and Bigfoot already dig up and eat. If want back Bigfoot probably poop out bones and fur in day or so. Very delicious, raise him right, he taste like love.

Now THAT'S some funny .
Somewhere on the list of the best feelings in the world there has to be:
Going to the library, picking up something up on a whim and striking book gold. It's like magic for my eyes. (Occasionally obscene magic, and at times poo poo humor magic, but magic nonetheless.)

Crass, shocking, vulgar, very clever, symbolic, takes ones singular views and flips them upsidedown.
I found this book extremely funny and I after reading it I felt very sorry for Sasquatch - especially after watching the current spate of ridiculous bigfoot reality shows.

One of the funniest things I've ever read. I picked up this book (along with a bunch of others) in the Airport library (which is awesome, by the way), and ended up passing it on to Tom and Andrea. Some sensitive subjects and language for those concerned. But it's hilarious, you should read it anyway.
I took my time with this one. I limited myself to a few hilarious pages a day, otherwise it would have all been over in just a few minutes. I feel closer to the big guy already!
I cannot wait to get a hold of the other books by Graham. I can only hope they're even 1/10th as funny as I Not Dead.

This book is funny. Inappropriate and unexpected, and really, really funny. I read it in one sitting and was laughing almost the entire time. I Not Dead is one of those books where everything about it is so completely unexpected that you have to laugh. Great writing.
I should not have read this while suffering through a cold - all that laughing led to horrible coughing fits, but it was still worth it!! Bigfoot is a grumpy, misunderstood, big-headed, has-been-celebrity whose first instinct is always to smash heads. His various rants are mean, sad and HILARIOUS!! This book is a bit darker than "Me Write Book, It Bigfoot Memoir."
This was really funny. My little brother got this for Christmas and the whole family got quite a big laugh out of it... although, now that I think about it, this is probably not what most people would think of as "family friendly".
Pretty funny, although I didn't laugh until I peed like the blurb from Slate.com on the back said I would...
Quick, light, fast, entertaining. Funny illustrations. Wouldn't want to buy it because it's too short, and not funny enough. I would recommend it to a friend with a quirky sense of humor, or possibly a strange love for Bigfoot. :)

This is serious laugh-out-loud funny. If you haven't read Graham Roumieu's books yet, go do so. Pronto! When feeling down, this book picks me up. Every time. Thanks, Graham! And thank you Bigfoot!
I came across this book at the Woods a former mortuary now night club. It reminded me of someone I was thinking of--the mythical existence and petulant frustration with the world.
HIGH-larious. Written in first person from Bigfoot’s perspective, this one had me laughing out loud. It is a very quick read but well worth it. Who knew Bigfoot was so complex? Ha!
Non-stop laughs. Best if read in small bits. Try passing it around at a party and have everyone randomly select passages. Most enjoyable book of humor I've read in years.
I giggled so much while reading this. For those slightly twisted, this is a comic fest not to be missed. Roumieu is nothing short of a genius, albeit a bizarre one.
It is what it is.
The book is worth it just for the drawings and the unique use of grammar.
Highlights include: Poetry by Bigfoot.

This book had me laughing my butt off! It is not for the faint of heart, but its the funniest thing I've ever read. I will be reading others by this author.
Bigfoot is a complex animal. Apparently I missed the first two installments of Roumieu's Bigfoot books--will need to check them out.
