The Good Times Are Killing Me Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Good Times Are Killing Me


This is one of the funniest, saddest 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.
