Product Description

Pi carumba! You'll be livin' la vida Mensa with "The Lisa Book"! Whether she's extolling the virtues of vegetarianism and the global village, raising awareness about the world's moral and social ills, or simply playing with her Malibu Stacy doll and dreaming of ponies, Lisa Simpson is a role model for the 21st century! Discover Lisa's lifelong ambitions, gather snappy answers to environmentally insensitive questions, uncover "the Truth" by logging onto her Internet blog, and follow along as she solves a real mystery. From the benefits of being Teacher's Pet to the secret correspondences of Commander-in-chief Lisa's presidential administration, you will explore the inner workings of one of America's most progressive eight-year-old minds. The "Simpsons Library of Wisdom", according to Matt Groening, the creator of "The Simpsons," offers an on-going series of portable and quotable books that will eliminate the need for all religions and philosophies, exalt man's role in the universe, and make the world a better place...sort of. No other television show in history has commented so freely and so humorously on modern times, and there seems to be no end in sight for the sharp satire and pointed parody that "The Simpsons" serves up every night of the week all around the world. Add the newest entries in the series, "Krusty" and "Lisa", to your library and become a sophisticated, well-read person of distinction, join the literati, and become a scholar of Simpsonology.

Customer Reviews

A Lisa fan's bible, a Lisa hater's campaign fuel...
If you are a particular fan of Lisa Simpson, like me, and feel she has been denied the limelight for too long, then you will love this book. Taking centre stage are Lisa's likes, dislikes, friends, life story, the contents of her DVD shelf and of course her highly opinionated internet blog!

This has obviously been a labour of love for the creators of the Simpsons, it is extremely detailed and pretty funny. The illustrations are perfect and the whole book is definitely of high quality. However, as the book is not all that long, I would say it is quite pricey at £7.99 (RRP), so I recommend you shop around and pick it up cheap (I found mine in a book remainder shop for £1.99).

Simpsons fans who have only a passing interest in Lisa, this is definitely not for you. You will probably find it boring, overly lengthy, self indulgent and one dimensional. Be warned!
