It's the 10th Anniversary Edition of Love Is Hell! A book that's been in the making for a solid decade! This medium-sized guide is now available to the public with extra bonus fun-pages never-before-included in previous volumes of the same name! Slightly less scrawny than the original Love Is Hell, this behemoth-style handbook is jam-packed with all the info YOU need to keep your love-fight burnin'! Frankly written and profusely illustrated by famed cartoonist and merchandising monarch Matt Groening, Love Is Hell is the answer to all your Quandaries de l'Amour, or, as we say in American, Love Quandaries. Inside, you'll find handy tips on everything from Getting the Love You Deserve to Getting Your Heart Broken into Millions of Tiny Pieces. Plus so very much more. Why, we've even included a brand-spankin'-new intro by the author himself, written especially for this incredible 10th Anniversary Edition! And as if that wasn't enough, because you've waited so patiently for this special edition to come out, you get a special gold-colored anniversary seal right on the front cover, just because we care. Here's hoping you find a love as lasting and meaningful as this paperback.… (more)

A nice quick read for fans of love and Matt Groening's strangely humorous strip, "Life In Hell". Despite the title, perhaps only half the strips here deal with the vagaries of love. But that's OK. In Groening's hands, love is quite the hilarious spectator sport. ( )

Its a fun comic - but a bit dated, at times feeling retro, others, just old. Also, I found the text to be too small. At times it was difficult to read. ( )

Long before The Simpsons and Futurama, Matt Groening began his career with the avant garde cartoon Life in Hell . The strip has to be seen to be appreciated, since no description can do it justice. It stars a pair of anthropomorphic rabbits who explore sex, love, mortality, and meaning.

The small collection, Love is Hell offers a great introduction to the series. Titles of the particular strips give a good overview of its advice: The Nine Types of Boyfriends, What Not to Say During Moments of Intimacy, 9 Secret Love Techniques that Could Possibly Turn Men into Putty in Your Hands, The 22 Stages of Heartbreak, The 9 Types of Relationships, Homo vs Hetero: Which is Better?, Should You Have a Baby?, Kid's Questions About Death, and How to Be a Sensitive Poet.

If you like the Simpsons, you're halfway there towards loving Life in Hell . Who could have imagined existential angst could be so downright hilarious? ( )
