Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Yes, it's a real book, as advertised on the hit show "Parks and Recreation." If you're a fan of the show, this book is essentially a long episode in book form going over Leslie Knope's second-favourite thing to talk about, her hometown of Pawnee, Indiana (her first favourite thing, of course, being her best friend Ann Perkins). Filled with articles by guest writers from her very Department of Parks and Recreation, as well as other familiar faces, this book provides laughs on every page and a new world of inside jokes for fans. And, oddly enough, Leslie's passion for her hometown can actually be kinda heartwarming. (For best results, read each segment in the voices of the characters who wrote them, just in case it wasn't obvious to you that you should do that.) I was turned on to Parks and Recreation after it was over, but living in rerun land. I binge-watched all seven seasons and got this book. I could still hear all the characters' voices as I read their pieces. This book was fun, even if it was a bit naughty in places. The footnotes were a bit small for me though and sometimes I didn't see the numbers up above. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Welcome to Pawnee: More Exciting than New York, More Glamorous than Hollywood, Roughly the Same Size as Bismarck, North Dakota In Pawnee, Leslie Knope (as played by Amy Poehler on NBC's hit show Parks and Recreation) takes readers on a hilarious tour through her hometown, the Midwestern haven known as Pawnee, Indiana. The book chronicles the city's colorful citizens and hopping nightlife, and also explores some of the most hilarious events from its crazy history--like the time the whole town was on fire, its ongoing raccoon infestation, and the cult that took over in the 1970s. Packed with laugh-out-loud-funny photographs, illustrations, and commentary by the other inhabitants of Pawnee, it's a must-read that will make you enjoy every moment of your stay in the Greatest Town in America.

I think the book might be better read in snippets over time. The kind of thing you pick up, turn to a random spot, and read what's there, then put it down and come back to it later. Reading it all the through over the course of a few weeks only highlights the fact that the city of Pawnee is just terrible. The people who Leslie touts as the best department in their city's government are completely apathetic about the assignments she gives them for the book.
There are a few gems (an article written by Chris Traeger that had to be severely cut down for length, for example), and it did bring a smile to see references to some of my favorite aspects of the show. But overall, as a pretty hardcore fan, I think this just could have been better. Though the sad thing is that maybe it couldn't have been, because Pawnee really is that bad. It's just less obvious spread out over the show, which focuses more on the Parks Department than on the rest of the ridiculously dysfunctional town.
I would say that for fans of the show, it's worth reading the book, but again, I'd suggest reading it as vignettes now and then, rather than cover to cover in only a few weeks. ( )
