Customer Reviews

A must have for Simpsons fans and Non-Simpsons Fans alike.

I have always been a fan of the simpsons, but I have a lot of friends who aren't. I have always tried to tell them that the simpsons is probably the smartest show on TV, and that there are so many great lessons to be learned from the episodes. They always say, it is just a stupid show because Homer acts dumb, the kids are disrespectful, and Bart is a terrible role model. This book is a book that I have always wanted to write myself for quite sometime that actually shows the genius writing behind the show and the lessons that can be learned from the shows' plots and quotes. I am very happy that I bought this book. It is a really fun read, and very interesting. I showed it to one of my friends that hates the simpsons, and he read some of it and asked if he could borrow my simpsons dvds to watch a couple of the episodes that he read about. It is a great book!
