BOOK REVIEW: BART SIMPSON'S GUIDE TO LIFE (1993) * * * (3 stars out of 4).
External link:
I really enjoyed this book. It reminded me a lot of Matt Groening's "Life is Hell" books that I loved so much, years before the Simpsons was on TV. It had a lot less of the zaniness into which Simpsons has evolved (or devolved, as the case may be), and more of the honest realism that was so striking on TV ten years ago, and which is so common today, because of early Fox shows like the Simpsons and Married with Children. The book was charming and fun and really reminded me how it feels to be a child. But it wasn't really that funny.
This is The Official Record.
