Customer Reviews

A pint-sized edition of a great book
Binky's Guide to Love is another great Life in Hell collection. This edition, though, is printed in a smaller format than the other books. It's about 6 inches square, as opposed to the usual 11 inch square books. It's still a little larger than the size it's run in papers, but it can still induce eye strain.

But the content is all there, and just as funny as ever. So, four-star material, dinged a point for size.

Uplifting!
Who would have known such a strange looking rabbit charachter could be such a scholar when it comes to love! I was thouroughly impressed with Groening's portrayal of young single folk on the dating scene, and Akbar and Jeff can tell a lot about a lengthy relationship without involving gender roles. I might add that I also enjoy some of the appearances of Groening's sons, Will and Abe, for the realism they add to the humor.

Guaranteed therapy after a failed relationship.
I bought this book, and was really impressed by Binky's guide to 'love'. It is extremely amusing and insightful. Full of witty bitterness. It has a dig at dating, love and the whole relationship thing. I thought it was great. Recommended reading when your feeling really cynical and self pitying. I constantly flip through the first half of the book that relates to Binkys adventures in the dating game, but i don't really find the second half of the book, Jeff and Ackbar, as humourous. I guess the gay humour isn't as relative.
