This is a horrible book. We love cats and checked it out from the library after seeing the fuzzy kitty on the cover. My 2 and 4 year olds were totally into the real pics of the kitty and the mice - until the cat fell off the building and died. I had two sobbing kids. I had to make up a different ending and hide the book.

A spoof of the story of King Kong, with cat & mice characters.Starring Flash as Professor Vincent Varmint, Rabies as Rosie Rodent, Dwayne as Captain Charles Limburger & introducing Blueberry as the Monster this big book, a mixture of photographic collages & liberal acrylic paint daubings, tells the story of fearless mice who set sail for a strange island.This book as been rated TS - terribly silly & some material may be too silly for grown-ups. I loved the ton of puns & silly fun. Our librarians say this book is rarely on the shelf - so popular is it with children & adults alike. Great family reading!

I'm an adult (most of the time), but I just loved this book! It's creative, silly and smart, all at the same time.I've always been a big fan of all those old B&W; horror films, and this book is a laugh-out-loud take-off on one of the best of the genre. I loved it. Best was the group of mice "natives" with their can of tuna, doing the "mysterious chant":"'Heeeer, Ki-tee Ki-tee!"Heeeer, Ki-tee Ki-tee!"Heeeer, Kit-te Ki-tee Ki-tee!'"Mr. Pilkey used his own pets' images for the illustrations. Rabies, the mouse who gets the role of "Rosie Rodent," has that startled, wide-eyed expression that looks just like Fay Wray. (Too bad the book didn't have sound, because I bet she squeals just like her, too.)There are lots of funny bits in this book: you'll need to go through it several times to pick all of them up. And then you will want to watch the old _King Kong_ again, just for old time's sake.

The book arrived in good shape, and within the time promised. The jacket, the pages, and everything is in excellenet shape.

this book is the most useless book and gives no in depth knowledge at all. this book has too many topics cramped in a limited space.all the details are missing and someone new to this field would find it extremely difficult to understand the topics mentioned in it.this book is more of a review guide than a study guide..so there are many other books available in market which are 10 times better written than this idiotic book... completely useless and waste of money.

This book describe the TCP/IP family protocols. Of course, there is so much to say that in the limited space that a book can offer that I would say that the book presents only a quick overview of the protocols. Fortunately, at the end of each chapter, there are pointers on the relevant RFCs for the discussed topic in that chapter. My next statement is an impression and not a proven fact but by having read the first edition a long time ago, I have the impression that some details have been removed in this edition in favor of a better coverage of more new protocols. That being said, the information contained in the book is extremely accurate and the book is very useful when analyzing the output of a packet sniffer such as WireShark (previously known as Ethereal).
