Plenty of fun to be had in this treasury of one of the most beloved newspaper comics in recent years.

I have a teenage son. Enough said

[Michelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Its a great collection focusing on teenage boys, their peers and parents and shows how everyone deals with different perspectives of looking at the world. Its very positive and can be enjoyed by preteens up, I had a lot of fun reading it.

Big Honkin' Zits (Zits Treasury #2) by Jerry Scott, Jim Borgman -- Do comic strip writers sometimes take the low road and appeal to the lowest common denominator with their titles? Isn't it glorious! Such a great collection! Happy Reading!

This collection was even more enjoyable than the last one I read. Nostalgia for the comics and what they depict/represent, and a deeper appreciation for the adult perspective. Loved the references to dial up modems, Hemingway, and the like. A great palate cleanser in between books.

This was one of my favourite strips when I was younger, and it brought Borgman's excellent artwork from his political cartoons to this new genre. Wonderful... this was an excellent anthology read, and I shall keep it carefully in my library.

When you've had teenagers, particularly a teenage boy, Zits nails it!

[Zach Green]

Such a good blast from the past! (And I learned I have the same birthday as Jeremy!)

[Kaitlin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the characters and their problems throughout their high school years. A must read for everyone!

[Mark Baker · Rating 5 out of 5]

A second treasury of the comic strip Zits containing all the laughs from two smaller collections. Jeremy is a teenager who struggles with normal teenage things. The laughs are strong.

Read my full review at Carstairs Considers.

Big Honkin' Zits #2 by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman (Andrews McNeel Publishing 2001)(741.56973). This is another collection of the Zits comic strip featuring 15 year old Jeremy and his family. Always funny! 7/10, finished 3/25/11.

[Narariel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. It's mostly earlier Zits comics, but includes some of my favorites, such as Jeremy trying to deal with Sara being asked to prom by another guy. (There might be a mariachi costume involved. :D ) It's definitely a good read for when you're feeling down.

[Edwin Arnaudin · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best comic in papers today. Discussion over.

[Carre Gardner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hilarious, as all the Zits collections are. The best comic strip out there. Period.

Second Zits treasury is on the stand-by list now that I've read the first one.

[Scotty · Rating 4 out of 5]

Can't go wrong with any of these Zits books. Good read and great way to laugh off the stresses of the day.

[Child960801 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun and funny. Oh, teenagers.

[Adriana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not the strongest collection of Zits strips out there, but still incredibly entertaining.

[Avrom · Rating 3 out of 5]

Zits is not one of my favorite comic books, but i guess it was good.

[Anja · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Zits, so much like real teenagers!

[Dan Weiss · Rating 4 out of 5]

I used to read Zits when it first came out because it reminded me of myself and my mom. Now it reminds me of my wife and stepson.
