**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**

A hilarious collection of Hercule Van Wolfwinkle's 'extremely realistic' pet portraits. Warning: may not be suitable for anyone who actually likes animals or has the ability to see.

Not only does Hercule's unusual talent shine through on every page, each portrait is captioned with a review written by its bewildered recipient:

"Tell ya what mate, why don’t you get back to me when you’ve drawn a picture of my actual dog"

"It gets worse and worse the more your eyes scan down the page. Which is really quite the achievement given how bad her face looks"

"We really miss Marley. If I ever think I might be forgetting what he looked like, I can gaze at your portrait and know it was nothing like that."

–‘You’ve made my children cry.’

–‘I’ve had to open my mum’s Christmas present to help me get over this. I’m covered in tears, Ferrero Rocher wrappers and shame.’

BELIEVE THE HYPE! THIS REALLY IS THE PERFECT COFFEE TABLE BOOK!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 May 2021

Verified Purchase

I must confess to having been somewhat sceptical of Mr Van Wolfwinkle's frankly bonkers cult-like followers' frenzied bangings on about this being "The Perfect Coffee Table Book". So many times, I have fallen for the hype surrounding an eclectic mix of feverishly anticipated publications which have all made the same claim, only to be cruelly disappointed.. that is, until today! For "Rubbish Pet Portraits" truly is "The Perfect Coffee Table Book", being of the perfect thickness to sort my coffee table's wobbly leg out! No more spilt wine or soggy tabloids! One very satisfied customer! CHEERS, Hercule!!

Funniest book ever

This book is just what's needed to prop up the table leg. The table had been wobbly for some time and this is just the right thickness needed.

Haha, this book is great for a laugh. If you're feeling down after a rubbish day at work and pick this up you will soon be smiling. Absolutely brilliant, buy It!

Minnie page 70

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2021

Verified Purchase

Minnie is finally famous. Page 70 in a book of the most awful pet drawings in the world. She’s even been banned from doggy daycare for being a diva and trying to sell signed copies at inflated prices.

Well done Hercule for raising over £80k for Turning Tides (at the current count). Bravo!

Hidden talent that should be kept hidden

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 May 2021

Verified Purchase

Absolutely superb. It’s like photofit drawings of animals, where the witness was viewing them through a brick wall and the artist had his hands tied together.

Hercule is awesome and has raised so much money and awareness for Turning Tides

So hideous it is joyful.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 June 2021

Verified Purchase

I am not including an image because I wouldn't want to add to the horror.

So much time and skill has gone into creating this book.
The paper quality is wonderful.
The fonts have been chosen well.
The cover and construction of the book itself is peerless.

As a physical book - this is top quality.

But what can I say about the content?
There are words that could describe the drawings but I don't like to use bad language and I shy away from negativity.

Suffice it to say that the book is a neat and small enough size to be easily hidden to prevent it falling into the hands of hose who may not have strong sensibilities.

An ideal gift for someone you may wish to send a not so subtle message that causes them to cease and desist from further unwelcome interactions without having to resort to unpleasant conversations. Just send them this and I am sure you will never hear from them again.

This book has made my year!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 May 2021

Verified Purchase

Brilliant, hilarious, crazy, beautiful. It's everything and more. If you need a laugh in these current times, get this book. Page 85 is my absolute favourite.
They are rubbish pet portraits as it says, but well worth a look and the customer reviews are priceless.

Just buy it!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2021

Verified Purchase

I've never written a review before but I felt compelled to after receiving my copy of 'Rubbish Pet Portraits'. It's genius - no other way to describe it. Sure, the pictures are funny enough on their own (see Gavin Garnier on page 21), but the real hilarity comes from the 'customer reviews'. How Hercule comes up with so much content I'll never know.
And then you read the background to how the book came into being, how much money the guy has selflessly raised (during a global pandemic too) and how much joy it's brought to his thousands of followers on social media. It's just an all round feel-good story.
Do yourself a favour and just buy a copy
