I read this book a few years ago and remember it was a very quick read (not more than 5 minutes). It was very quirky, very funny- and wonderfully pithy. ( )

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll rail against clams'...uh..."inhumanity" to clams. Heartstopping action, breathtaking illustrations. Get it. Read it. ( )

A sad philosophical tale, full of angst and bitterness. It is well worth a re-reading, if someday, time permits. ( )

This is a very short book that is minimally illustrated (the clam of course). It is about the existential pain of the aforementioned clam. He is angry because he is well, a clam, and unable to partake of all the world has to offer. It has the following strange words to describe it: a bi-valve coming of age story, a limestone warrior. If only it could have lived up to the expectations.

It was cute, but very short and very minimal in the text as well as the drawings. It just didn't slay me with the humor.

It is out of print and I have had it on my wishlist for a long time. It was published in 1998, and has the clam in his anger deciding to embrace Islam (??). But he has to give it up because he has no sense of direction. Sort of a quiet chuckle instead of laugh out loud funny. ( )
