Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you like the Simpsons and comics, you'll like this book!
Review: This book is great for any collection. It is fun to read, and the illustrations are so colorful and bright! It's just like watching the TV show, but your reading it! What more can I say?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: serch put it well.
Review: This book is one of the larger ones--159 pages. Unlike the even bigger book, Unchained,which was over 170 pages of comics and other fun stuff, Royale includes short stories by Matt Groening. These stories are about his childhood (his first bully, cheap haircuts, etc.) that sheds some light on what influenced his creation of those cool Simpsons characters. While the stories are interesting, I'd prefer more comics, fake advertisements, etc. Groening could put his stories in a separate book for those interested in his life. Comic-wise, the book includes shorts featuring Radioactive Man, Krusty the Klown, Bartman, Sideshow Mel, and Itchy & Scratchy. The four full-length comics are as follows:

"Wall or Nothing": The first comic is the funniest. In a fight over Springfield's water supply, residents of upper and lower Springfield start a feud that culminates in a giant wall dividing the town. When visiting his father, Milhouse finds himself on the other side of the wall. Can Bart rescue his friend?

"The Inquisitory Zone": Lisa is excited about a new "educational" kids' play house at the mall. Bart is excited when he discovers some of the attractions likes "Whack the Abandoned Vehicle," "Fun With Saws," and the "Graffiti Area." Wait 'til Lisa finds out whose really behind the Inquisitory Zone.

"Krusty's 11": Hoping to try out his serious acting skills, Krusty stars in his first motion picture. The producers, however, only want Krusty to clown around.

"Lisa's Adventures in Wordland": A very clever comic that can only be appreciated through detailed exploration. How many comics come with references?

Rating: 3 stars

Review: This entertaining and colorful book is a perfect gift for any Simpsons fans. The stories included are just as hilarious as the televised episodes, full of comedy and satire. You'll find yourself reading it over and over again.
