So fun!

The Good Guys are after a mad scientist and it gets really crazy and funny. They have another team member since book one, a spider named Legs. Great series for kids!

HEROES OR VILLAINS?

The bad good guys are back. The rescued chickens from the Sunnyside farm interview to tell that the bad good guys actually helped them escape and the world is trying to make sense of it and meanwhile Mr. Wolf has come with another plan to continue their streak of being the good guys. But they find out that they were lured by none other than the guinea pig, Marmalade. In the last book, the good guys freed 10,000 chickens from Sunnyside Farm and Marmalade happened to own that and here he is back to take revenge.

A secret spy helps rescue them and Mr. Wolf becomes smitten with the secret spy. That secret spy happens to work for International League of Heroes. Marmalade still escapes but he has unleashed a secret weapon. The good guys stay back to take care of the secret weapon.

Another good addition to the series. It is full of witty lines and good art.

This is funny, but incomplete. Unlike the previous two books in the series, this one doesn't really have a full plot. A new character is introduced, the villain escapes, and the Bad Guys have another new problem to deal with.

The funny touches are all there, complete with snark and bathroom humour. But this book feels kind of rushed and light on plot, at least compared to the previous installments.

Luckily, I've already got the next book, The Bad Guys in Attack of the Zittens, so I can keep reading and find out if this story arc gets resolved.

More hilarious hijinks involving this group of unlikely do-gooders.

Best line?

"Just because I'm a guinea pig, I CAN'T BE A BILLIONAIRE MAD SCIENTIST?"

Yeah, you really don't hear that one every day . . .

Evil, mad-scientist guinea-pig Dr. Rupert Marmalade strikes back in this third hilarious beginning chapter-book/graphic-novel about the (mis)adventures of a crew of would-be-good bad guys from Australian author/artist Aaron Blabey. Lured to Marmalade's secret compound in the woods, the companions - Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark and Legs the tarantula - soon find themselves in hot water. Unbeknownst to them, however, their activities are being tracked by a cunning ninja who may, or may not, turn out to be an ally...

Like its predecessors, The Bad Guys in The Furball Strikes Back is hysterically funny, pairing an action-packed madcap adventure story with humorous cartoon-style illustrations. The back-and-forth between the various characters is quite amusing, and I appreciated the appearance on the scene of Special Agent Fox of the International League of Heroes. The conclusion, in which Dr. Marmalade unleashes his next horrific weapon - ! - had me reaching immediately for the next installment of the series, The Bad Guys in Attack of the Zittens . Recommended to anyone who has read and enjoyed the first two Bad Guys books.

Mr Wolf is great and I love all of his attempts to boost up his teammates. It feels like the gang is starting to get a little unsure about what they're doing as good guys, but the piece of advise to believe in yourself was dropped.

The upside down argument was the highlight of this for me, the matryoshka doll situation was gross and funny. I think it's whack that Marmalade seems to be our main bady, hopefully he gets more chance to show how evil he is next time.

I'm excited to see what happens with Mrs. Fox, I hope it's not annoying. I don't mind Wolf being a little swooney right now, but I hope they get past that. I really just want more Mr. Snake though. I know where his story goes and it seems crazy.

My daughter and I took turns reading this book. We both liked this one more than the 2nd book and are really looking forward to the fourth book with the zombie kittens. The evil guinea pig is just a fun character.

This is in graphic novel format, but, I would say that it is excellent for that somewhat reluctant reader who wants some humor and action.

There's kiddie violence, but, other than that should be fine for even fairly strict parents.

Не винаги всяко пухкаво е добро, но и не винаги всяка нинджа е лоша. Нови приключения за Клуба на добрите момчета - измъкване от злодей, от саморазрушаваща се сграда и накрая от зомби котета...

Leí este libro a mis hijas. Estamos leyendo toda la serie. Nada como verlas reír con chistecitos escatológicos de la piraña, el sarcasmo de la serpiente o el enamoramiento del lobo.
Nos gustó el final inesperado que les preparó el conejillo de Indias maléfico.

Când simt nevoia de o carte amuzantă apelez la seria Băieții Răi
Zilele trecute m-am delectat cu Episodul 3 - "Ghemotocul contraatacă" - unde membrii Clubului Băieților Buni au de-a face cu un Porcușor de Guineea malefic, ce le pune acestora în pericol nu doar viitorul ca eroi, ci și propria viață.
Am scris mai multe despre lectura amuzantă foc într-un articol publicat pe blog.

This book was great. It had lots of funny moments and I laughed at it a lot. The best part is where Parana says that he calls brave people idiots.

My favorite part is the beginning of the book where the chickens (who were featured in Book #2) give testimonials about being set free by Mr. Wolf and his friends.

And I especially love the end of the book because it sets up the plot for Book #4 (which will be out in a few weeks). At the end of the book, zombie kittens have been created----and zombie kittens are called ZITTENS! How could anyone not get behind a book about zombie kittens??

Another enjoyable installment to this fabulous kids series. Although this one does lack the environmental message that comes with most of the other books in his repertoire.
I'll just say this: zombie kittens!

Not as good as the first two in the series, but still fun. The villains turned good guys are struggling to get along, but they have to fight a mad scientist Guinea pig! What?!?! Dr. Marmalade is tired of being cute and cuddly and wants to change things. What diabolical scheme does he create to rule the world? Hmmmm?

In This book, the good guys have messed with the wrong Guinea pig! His Name turns out to be marmalade but he tricks them by pushing a button which says “THIS BUILDING IS GOING TO SELF-DESTRUCT IN 79…78..77…76…75..” whateves and then in 5 minutes…..Actually, why would I be telling from the middle to the end when I am writing a review?

There is something magical about a fart joke, and even more so, poo jokes. So my son (rightly so) claims this to be one of the best books in the series. I am not so sure. I am sure it is just a blip but I will need to be convinced in book 4. I would never in a million years tell my son this though.

J'ai de nouveau passé un très agréable moment en compagnie de Loup et ses "amis". J'adore vraiment leurs aventures, ils sont trop marrant et réussissent toujours à se mettre dans des situations assez cocasses. Cette fois-ci ils font face à un vrai super méchant et de nouveaux personnages font leur entrée dans l'histoire. La fin promet une suite encore bien désopilante, j'ai hâte !!!
