kind of humour written on the walls of bathrooms and the backs of copy books in primary school. It seems to be pitched in-between audiences — too adult for children, too childish for adults. Page after page of annoyingly laid out poorly written prose recommending everything from cool things to be when you grow up to questioning whether or not they have secret sauce in Heaven. This attempt to portray the Simpsons characters indicates both that they do not translate well to print and that whoever contributed to this book was not a writer on the show." Bart Simpson's Guide to Life was included on a list of "30-plus actual books written by fictional TV characters" by authors of The A.V. Club. They wrote that because "characters have developed and the show’s voice has changed, Bart’s Guide To Life is understandably a bit dated 17 years later (see the reference to Simpsons bootleg shirts), but like a lot of the books on this list, it’s a souvenir from a different pop-cultural age."
