I love the LOLcats and often at least one in the daily email I will find either clever or bizarre enough to save. I was excited that they had put out a book. But these are not clever, nor bizarre. I got maybe 2 smiles out of the whole book, whereas the occasional LOLcat from teh site will make me actually laugh out loud (my favorite is probably invisible sandwich, which makes me laugh for no reason I can explain). This book just feels dumbed down (I realize that may seem impossible, but those who appreciate the website will know what I mean).
I suspect they geared the selections for the book to fit a wide range of people who would not frequent the website, and would certainly never come up with a clever LOLcat themselves. It feels more like a kids' book, or an "oooooh, kitties are cute" book, than a documentation of the web-born oddity that is the LOLcat.
 Where are all the classics?? WHY?? October 15, 2008

Ok everybody.. If you frequent the website and are pretty familiar with LOLCats in general, you will know what im talking about here. This book had some SERIOUS potential and I waited weeks for its release, but it isnt NEARLY as good as it could have been.. NONE OF THE CLASSICS ARE IN HERE!?!? Where is "Invisible Bike" and Invisible Sandwich"?? or how about "Oh Hai I Upgraded Ur RAM"? There are countless LOLCat pics that SHOULD have made an appearance here but they FAILED. It seems almost like they made all these themselves.. leaving the cleverness and randomness of the phenomena completely out of the book.. Then I saw the back of the book and realized they needed copyright protection and permission from the original makers to print them in this book and profit from it.. Now you have your answer as to why all the CLASSICS are missing.. They probably couldnt track down the creators of alot of the "good" ones. In my personal opinion there is maybe 5 pics in this whole book that really made me laugh.. and one of the greatest LOLCats, "MONORAIL CAT", got a tiny little spot on one of the pages.. with a bunch of monorail cat wanna-bees on there with him.. and they werent even funny..
To conclude I think this book missed the mark.. If they couldnt get permission to print the pics that made this whole thing what it is, they shouldnt have made one at all. Its like a kids book, hell they even cut out half of the caption on "Ceiling Cat".. Come on guys, this isnt for 12 year olds.. Your better off sticking to the website if you want the real and funny LOLCats.. This book is a testament to the crappy copyright laws of this country.. Besides, even if they printed some of them without "purrmission", how could someone possibly prove they are the original creator of "Invisible Sandwich" anyway???
Full of win and happyness October 7, 2008

There's very little that can perk up a sad geek like a lolcat. This book is a snackpack full of win that's got enough lols and is great for a commuting giggle to start of the morning.
Extremely disappoint: not funny, not cute October 9, 2008

I LOVE icanhascheezburger. I check it every day, and nearly every day I replace one funny cat wallpaper with another one. So I was really looking forward to this book. I Save lots of pictures, and only 2 of dozens I've saved are in this book. Most are not funny, most of the cats are not even cute. Who designed this book??? I think they put together pictures that are not-funny, not-cute, but pictures whose owners would allow them to be reprinted. Maybe it was a big cosmic (not-funny) joke. VERY DISAPPPOINTED.
