In this revealing and bittersweet autobiography, Bigfoot confronts the stereotypes and preconceptions he faces everyday, revealing a lonely and isolated monster, pushed to edges of civilization by his agressive need for companionship and unsaitable bloodlust.
For those of you looking for tiliatting gossip, Bigfoot does not dissappoint with his behind-the-scenes details of the Koko's the Gorilla's infamous overdose, the public and embarassing row with Pat Morita and his never before disclosed an...more

I got this book gifted to me by my old roommate in San Diego and while it's right up his humor alley, i found it a little dumb and predictable. What a dick I am, especially since he's a Goodreads member and will probably read this. And I told him over the phone that I liked it. Goddamn, why do I do that? Oh well, if you can't be honest in a book review, what is this world coming to. And i was so into the rest of the gifts that came in his Christmas package that I couldn't break it to him ab...more

I love this book, and I just laugh whenever I think about it. It's another one of those books that looks like it's meant for children, but it's definitely for more mature audiences.
Here we meet the legendary Bigfoot, who turns out to be more complex and just as simple as expected. He drinks Yop and writes haiku, has appeared in several movies, and had the original idea for Fight Club (though his title was "Tussle Club"). He doesn't like cats or obsessive stalkers, but he's a prett...more

Graham Roumieu has always been a fantastic illustrator, but really goes all out for this humorous look at the diary of Bigfoot.
One of my favorite quotes:
"You think I want live in bushes? 'Oooh woods so pretty' they say. 'Like Walden Pond.' 'Nuts and berry in abundance.' Bigfoots ass abundance. Should no have moved from Condo. Sure Commuting no so good but damn sight better than listen to squirrels playing slide whistles all day. What I wouldn't give to whack them with badmin...more

"If you going to chase, please no spray with holy water.
"Ok. Listen. I not know where all you morons come from but holy water no hurt Bigfoot. Garlic and Crucifix also no. Fire, Pitchfork, Silver Bullet OK. Cryptonite do nothing. It not even real. Please stop sending letters asking 'What you vulnerability? What Bigfoot?' Like I tell. What next me bank account number? Why not you invest time in moving out of Parent basement? Maybe have sex or something."

Seriously the best bathroom book ever. The opening lines reveal the genius - "I am not Chewbacca. Me think Chewbacca jerk. He *no* can act." I couldn't remember the title of the book when I went to find it at a Border's. Thus ensued a funny conversation w/ me saying to friendly Border's worker, "Uh, yes...I'm looking for the autobiography of Bigfoot. Yeah, it's fiction...obviously...." The guy didn't think it was quite so funny as I did.

This was my first venture into a graphic-novel-type of book. It's one of the most comical, and in a weird way one of the most endearing, books I've read in a long while. Bigfoot pens his story, using his own handwriting and some bizarre illustrations. There's a lot to savor here, but it's not always immediately apparent; this book takes a bit of study and re-reading. I loved it and often turn to it when I'm feeling down.

I loved this book... so much so that I read it 3 times in a row AND decided to get a copy for my brother's Christmas gift a few years back. It was one of the only books that has ever made me laugh out loud. I loved how intelligent, sensitive and sarcastic Bigfoot is! Years after our first reading, my husband and I still quote "Craig, you shitty cat" to each other. Good times! My only complaint is that it wasnt longer!

This is pretty funny (but giggle-funny, not LMAO funny) and I really like the illustrations. It can be a good one for kids but best for those who are old enough to understand sarcasm (though not necessarily subtle in nature), otherwise I guess they can laugh at the silly drawings.

Friend Lefty, she love, she say Bigfoot Autobiography so funny. Her husband Joe love even more, he incessant mimic Bigfoot-talk (it addictive, true).
But before book end, it start to feel like cheap boring one-trick pony. One-foot pony.
Drawings pretty decent though.

From the second I picked up this book in the library, I knew that I had to steal it. So I did. I love it. If you found this book in your library, you would steal it too.
It's that good!

I think my friend Anna is internet dating the guy who wrote this. That is just the kind of thing this dude would do. And finally, if you don't love Bigfoot, you are a bad person.

As sagacious and illuminating as his prior literary effort. However, should you mention to the author that you think he resembles Chewbacca, your scalp may end up in his mouth.

Enjoyable - but if you read all the comments about the book - you've just about read the book. Not much to it. So STOP - don't read anymore and THEN read the book.

Sometimes my brain hurts and I can only handle a book with less than 30 words per page. This book changed my life and I have a newfound love and respect for Bigfoot.

"Me eat you face." "What you vulnerability?" Evidently, Bigfoot sounds an awful lot like Cookie Monster. The watercolors and text and just so f-ing hilarious. A+++.

I have a real soft spot for inexplicably bizarre yet humorous books. This is one of them. You had me at "Me Hate Chewbacca. He no can act."
