Summary: I laughed until I stopped, and that took a while...
Review: Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee heeheeheeheeheeeheeeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!!!! C'mon, it's by Matt Groening ("rhymes with complaiing"--MG), the guy who created "The Simpsons." This was his first and most sarcastic venture. A timeless classic.

Summary: One of Greoning's Best
Review: I must say, Big Book of Hell is 10 times better than Huge Book of Hell. Funnier, less preachy, bigger, and just plain better. It's honest, and extremely observant of the little stupid things we do every day. Matt's detailed descriptions of school and work are so true, I wish I would have written them. Bongo's anti-school agenda is so funny and true. The strips with the eyes and Bongo strapped in a chair are among my favorites. Another thing Big Book has that Huge Book doesn't, is that it is TOUCHING! Witness the 8 Steps of Handling a Divorce (or something to that nature). I almost cried when I read it. In some ways, its more personal than Huge Book, other times, more universal. Which is why Greoning's work (and the Simpsons) are so brilliant: touching, personal yet universal, bitter yet hilarious, observant without being fake. Big Book also has TREMENDOUS re-read value. I highly suggest anyone looking for a laugh or some delicious insight to purchase Big Book of Hell.

Summary: Hell ain't that bad
Review: I've been a huge fan of the Simpsons since they first aired, and recently I decided to check out Matt Groening's other works. I bought this book used and it was worth every penny. The comics here are unlike any other. I particularly enjoy them because they are totally irreverent, yet honest about the state of American society today. Many of the 'School is Hell' series appear in this collection. They are my favorites--they get me through long nights of studying. It makes me wish there was a 'Life in Hell' TV series to go along with the Simpsons.

Summary: A scathingly realistic view of life
Review: If you like The Simpsons, you'll love this book. It is packedwith 169 pages of the brutal and sometimes comic honesty that madeGroening who he is today. It covers all the main aspects of life - work, school, love, and childhood; told through the antics of surprisingly amusing rabbits who bear a striking resemblance to the Simpsons. Some readers may be turned by these aspects that make it so appealing to the rest of us. Face it - Groening doesn't exactly hesitate to be excruciatingly honest, as you can see in his discussion of saran wrap vs. party balloons as contraceptives. But it's all in good humor and, let's face it, more people have been there than we like to admit. If I haven't completely suaded you from this book, give it a shot. Sit back, get comfortable, and be willing to laugh in spite of yourself. I give it a five.
