Love Is Hell

Summary: Matt Groening, creator of the Simpsons, all in perspective
Review: This book is from the brilliant mind of Matt Groening, the creator of the Nationally Renowned "THE SIMPSONS" television show. Before he founded the Simpsons, Matt was doing a weekly comic strip here in Santa Cruz for our local paper which developed a huge following. His cult-like status soon followed when his comic strip based "unusual" animated characters began to reach out to everyone with a heart. "Love is Hell" is a book that anyone who has ever been in love can appreciate and laugh at, but anyone who's gone through that harsh, bitter, "kill me now" time after rejection, needs to understand the humor behind the pain. And it's here, in Matt's book. It will make you laugh and be grateful you're not one of his characters. I LOVE THIS BOOK! The comics are from the 80's and gives you that perspective as well. priceless as far as I'm concerned. I'll NEVER part with my book!

Summary: Life In Hell - Better Than The Simpsons!
Review: This is a truly funny and groundbreaking book. Very significant as it lays groundwork for the success of the Simpsons and other alternative cartoons. This whole "Hell" series is excellent and a worthy 5 star recommendation.

Summary: There is NO ONE Funnier than Groening
Review: We Live in a world where hearts are broken on a daily basis, often unexplained, often crushingly terrible (where you want to curl up on the floor in a fetal position and catterwall until the early morning---yes, I've been there). When one feels this way, there is only one cure. That cure is laughter. Love Is Hell hasn't changed the world or saved lives (not that I know of anyway), but it has allowed us to look at the way that we behave when it comes to romantic matters and laugh at it. Granted, it is darkly funny, but funny nonetheless. By holding the mirror up to our own insecurties, neurosis, and emotion, Groening has provided the the salve in chuckle form for a wounded heart---a book that understands the pain, makes it funny, but never makes light of it. A stunning achievement from a very gifted man.
