I love the LOLcats and often at least one in the daily email I will find either clever or bizarre enough to save. I was excited that they had put out a book. But these are not clever, nor bizarre. I got maybe 2 smiles out of the whole book, whereas the occasional LOLcat from teh site will make me actually laugh out loud (my favorite is probably invisible sandwich, which makes me laugh for no reason I can explain). This book just feels dumbed down (I realize that may seem impossible, but those who appreciate the website will know what I mean).
I suspect they geared the selections for the book to fit a wide range of people who would not frequent the website, and would certainly never come up with a clever LOLcat themselves. It feels more like a kids' book, or an "oooooh, kitties are cute" book, than a documentation of the web-born oddity that is the LOLcat.

There's very little that can perk up a sad geek like a lolcat. This book is a snackpack full of win that's got enough lols and is great for a commuting giggle to start of the morning.
 A Review for the Uninitiated - Welcome to the World of "lolcat" October 8, 2008
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
Anyone who spends much time surfing aimlessly around the Internet over the last two years has probably stumbled upon at least one "lolcat" image. These benign and fearlessly adorable images combine serendipitous photos of pets with superimposed, bolded captions that act as humorous narrative, observation, or dialogue for the animal (Typically an average house cat). The captions themselves, while understandable as English, take sweeping liberties in spelling, grammar and syntax, becoming a cousin of baby-talk. Much like single-panel comic strips, the humor is immediate, safe for most ages, and usually charming. It's very much like Mystery Science Theater 3000 for photography. The popularity of lolcat has risen to such heights that you're now reading a review of a real book filled with these captioned photos. What times we live in!
This book is one of the first of its kind: A commercially published collection of artwork inspired by an Internet meme. Contained within are 200+ high resolution full color lolcat images in no particular order printed on glossy paper. As a coffee table photography book, it fits right in. At only $8 to $10, it's just the right price for so many vivid photos at your fingertips. My only disappointments with the book are that some introductory material wasn't included. There's no forward or history of the meme for the uninitiated and some of the classic lolcats which fans might look for in this collection are missing. Monorail and Ceiling Cat are here, but the original Basement Cat, "Has a flavor" Cat, Limecat, Invisible Bike Cat and others are noticeably absent. I understand rights to any published image had to be acquired first and I can imagine it's totally impossible to find the original artist in some cases, but it just doesn't feel like a complete collection without those classic lolcats. What can you do.
Bottom line, "I Can Has Cheezburger?" is a fantastic and uniquely original picture book for fans of the meme as well as animal lovers who know in their hearts that their cats can talk. Hopefully more volumes will be produced as every day, more and more lolcat images are made with ever-increasing humor! Yes, Happy Cat, you can has cheezburger. Mai treet.
