Me by Me: The Pets.com Sock Puppet Book

Rating:
Summary: Socktastic!
Review: A breathtaking journey into the very soul of a sock puppet. I laughed. I cried. I licked myself.
I truly had no idea the pure joy one could receive from manually stimulating a canine's backdoor. Thank you Pets.com!

Review: The Pets.com TV advertising campaign was hilarious. The commercials with the Sock Puppet standing in as the witty Pets.com 'Spokes-puppet' were pure marketing genious (although sadly not enough to stop their recent demise).... The book however, is only moderately amusing, and doesn't really capture the humor that was found in the TV commercials. A collection of pictures accompanied by some handwritten captions made for a fairly average read. I'd highly recommend purchasing the actual 'Sock Puppet' from Amazon.com...since I think for the extra few bucks it's more fun to entertain kids or co-workers with the charming little terry-cloth sock, than spending money on this book. Only diehard 'Sock Puppet' fans should spend their money here. I don't mean to be cutting, but I guess I was expecting a little more.

Review: When I heard about this book, I was expecting an elaborate autobiography detailing the Sock Puppet's mysterious past. Unfortunately, I discovered too late that it was only a 64-page paperback w/ witty photos and equally witty captions written by the Sock Puppet for each photo.

Don't get me wrong - the book is hilarious. But I guess I was expecting much more. This is an extremely fun book to read at a bookstore if you're there with nothing better to do, but only die-hard Sock Puppet fans should make a purchase.
