Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America Paperback – October 4, 2011

Product arrived ahead of schedule and in good condition.

I 'LITERALLY' screamed when I got this in the mail!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS BOOK EXISTS!!! I have not read it yet, although I plan to soon! From flipping through the pages, it is very informative and has literally everything that has been described or shown in the show!! I love this so so so so much!! Parks and Recreation will always hold a special place in my heart!!! Yes, this book is right next to the DVD collection I have hehehe

Such a funny book to go along with the show. I enjoyed the Additional Acknowledgements at the end of book. Thanking Harry Wittels, Chelsea P. Veretti, & others. Names slightly changed, Harris Wittels & Chelsea Peretti. Basically thanking the writers of P&R.

If you're a fan of Parks and Recreation, this book will have you laughing out loud in the wee hours of the night while your significant other elbows you in anger. It's full of hilarious factoids about the fictional town, ranging from Pawnee's sordid history with the local indigenous peoples to its flirtation with a doomsday cult in the early 1970's. A lot of the stuff in this book actually serves as a sort of introduction to aspects of this season of the show. Eg; The aforementioned "Reasonableist" cult featured in this past week's episode are covered in detail in the book, with the story of their meteoric (and drug-fueled) rise and fall, as well as "sample chapters" of Reasonableist texts and documents. It's a nifty and clever tie-in that no fan of the series should be without!

I loved this book so much!! Ever since I watched the show I always wanted to have my own and now I do and I feel like part of the Parks and Rec family! It’s funny and you can see the detail the author put into it to make it feel like the character Leslie Knope actually wrote it.

I was happy that this book was even real, let alone all of the fun facts and ads in it! I wasn’t really sure what I was expecting, but Im super happy with it! It really seems like Amy Poehler wrote this as Leslie Knope with all of the side comments

A really fun read in the vein of The Daily Show/Colbert Report mocumentary "text"books. The writing is entertaining and nails the characters. You could tell which character wrote each piece without looking at the byline.Clever essays, clever ads, uncountable references back to every detail of the show. Not the funniest thing I ever read, but up there. Mad magazine for grown-ups.You'll believe the town of Pawnee exists in more than Leslie Knope's mind. I especially enjoyed the bitter chapter on Eagleton.One complaint: I like to keep books like this in pristine condition, but the book itself is printed on recycled matte stock, not the traditional high-quality glossy paper of similar books, so the photographs don't have the best quality, and the paper just sucks up the moisture. I left this book in a room with an open window on a day with slightly high humidity and the cover curled up and the pages are all slightly warped.

Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America is the perfect compliment to Parks and Recreation, which is saying a lot since I feel Parks and Rec is one of the greatest shows in recent history. Written in the same style as the show, featuring guest segments by each member of the wonderful Pawnee Parks Department. If only local government everywhere could be filled with people like Leslie Knope and her team.This has to be the best television tie-in I've ever read since Supernatural's John Winchester's Journal. In-show, Leslie wrote this book due to her love for her hometown of Pawnee, Indiana, "warts and all." And seeing her dedication to the quirky history of this town, along with her remarkable accuracy (which she brags about several times).Reading this, I really started to miss Parks and Recreation. Might be time for a rewatch of the entire series. Might be past time...

Si viste la serie entenderas las referencias, es como la clase de libro que tendrias en un revistero en tu sala para las visitas.

Se siete dei fan sfegatati di Parks and Recreation, questo volume fa per voi.Prima di tutto imita nella copertina l'omonimo libro scritto da Leslie nella serie, quindi è già di per sé un gadget. Ma il contenuto è scritto in-character e contiene un sacco di curiosità e dettagli.Potete leggerlo dall'inizio alla fine, oppure sfogliarlo qui e là. Ottimo coffee table.La copertina è un po' delicata, molle, e il volume del libro mi aveva fatto temere per la spedizione. Incredibilmente, è arrivato intonso e intatto.

Literalmente o melhor livro que eu já li em toda a minha vida. Parabéns Leslie Knope (Leia isso na voz do Chris Traeger)

absolutely fantastic! We wanted to order this last year but wasn’t available on hard copy. The quality of the print is top notch and so is the paper. Binding is flawless.

Tanto la serie como el libro es la hostia! Me encanta todos los datos curiosos que da!Eso si en ingles!
