Title: The Good Times Are Killing Me by Lynda Barry ISBN: 1-57061-105-X Publisher: Sasquatch Books Pub. Date: March, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.67 (6 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: A must-read.
Comment: This is the book that got me started on my Lynda Barry addiction. I stumbled on to this book by fortuitous accident. It's brilliant. It is simple in its style with a reach deep into the heart of complex feelings and issues. While not as riveting as Cruddy, it is more moving and realistic. I hope Lynda Barry continues to produce work of this quality. One Hundred Demons is also extremely good. Her fiction is great literature on a transcendent level.
Rating: 3
Summary: Not Ernie Pook's Comeek
Comment: I didn't realize that this was actually a short book of vignettes as opposed to an illustrated story or comic. I had just finished The!Greatest!Of!Marlys! and have been a fan of Lynda Barry's comics for quite some time. This is more like her book Cruddy than her comics. I just could not get quite as into this book as I might have had I known what I was in for when I bought it. It will be enjoyable for anyone who loved Cruddy but if you are looking for something like Marlys et. al. than this may not be what you are looking for.
Rating: 5
Summary: Genius
Comment: This is one of the funniest sad books I've ever read. Lynda Barry has a great ear for the way children talk and a keen sense of how their minds work. I've never read any author who paints such an accurate picture of what it was really like to be a child, since I think most of us tend to recall only good things or only bad things. This book will remind you how complex your life was, even then.
This is a quick read, but it will stay with you long after you're finished.
