![]() ![]() A few pissed me off (usually of the "if you don't get this joke, here is what it is referencing" or "lots of people love this comic" variety), but a few were interesting. Perhaps 1/3 of the pages have them drawn in (in bright red). Yes, there are annotations and little drawings and stories included in the book, but not many. ![]() Stick figures that look about the same when you read xkcd on screen grow and shrink as you read on paper. This is just a necessary effect of how xkcd uses vastly differing sizes for its comics, but the result is a little jarring - the images and text on page, say, "page 111" are huge while the comics on "page 12000" have tiny little words and pictures. ![]() Of course, some pages fit exactly one comic. Some larger comics (442, 556, 475) are split up on multiple pages some pages get multiple smaller comics (page "10001," for example, has four one-panel comics - 179, 191, 210, and 200, in that order). The book is about 112 pages long (the page numbers, as discussed below, are mostly useless). ![]() Just that the things that are bad are not the things I was expecting to be bad, and the things that are good are not the things I was expecting to like. Not that it was particularly good or particularly bad - it isn't either. My first feeling, after reading through the book, was genuine surprise. ![]()
