Book Reviews of the Futurama-O-Rama (Simpsons Futurama)
Customer Review: Obviously not written by Matt Groening!
Summary: 2 Stars
What upset me about this book was that it's listed as being written by Matt Groening. This is not the case. It's introduction is written by him, but the scripts were done by Eric Rogers, who is one of the staff writers for the TV series (info from [the web site]). The writing seems a little dumbed-down at times, and it makes me wonder if it was written for a younger audience (pre-18) than the audience of the TV series. The exception would be the fourth story which is a parody of Apocalypse Now featuring Zap Branagan.
The colors are vibrant, and almost has the appearance of a photo book.
The art is spot on for the most part.
In the end, though, you have to look at it like this: here are four so-so episodes of a series that has unfortunately seem to have met its end, so fans looking for more material should pick it up.
Conclusion: Not horrible, but ultimately forgettable.
