Review of 'Pawnee' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I read this to my wife over the course of two and a half month. Squeezing in a few pages every other day or so while she finished her morning coffee. At some point she said something like "I think Leslie Knope is the only fictional character that I really think of as existing." and I completely agree. It is hard at times, even when this book is describing the more bizarre elements of the town of Pawnee, to remember that despite her being given author credit for this book, and despite me tongue-in-cheek labeling this book "non-fiction", Leslie Knope doesn't exist.
If you loved Parks and Rec, you will most likely love this book, and if you didn't, you might still find a lot of it funny, but you're missing out on the ways it is a way to go back and visit some old friends you can't otherwise …
