Book Description

Series: Simpsons Library of Wisdom | Publication Date: October 18, 2005

The Homer Book is now being released in hardback, as part of the ongoing series: The Simpsons Library of Wisdom.

Homer Simpson is a man's man, an 'Average Joe', a loving father and husband, and a devoted beer drinker. But do you know the 'real' Homer? Find out what's on Homer's mind, discover the mysteries of Homer's fridge, hang out in Homer's haunts; meet his friends and enemies; and spend a typical day with the lovable lout who will lift you out of your

D'oh–ldrums.

In The Simpsons Library of Wisdom, Matt Groening, the creator of 'The Simpsons', offers an ongoing 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.

This book is fun, entertaining, and very colorful. I'd recommend it to anyone- those with a passing interest, to die-hard fans like myself. Very informative, but most of all it's funny.

4.0 out of 5 stars For Die Hard Simpsons Fans, March 30, 2008

By 

SA White (Salt Lake City, UT USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Homer Book (Simpsons Library of Wisdom) (Hardcover)

This is a really fun book with every detail you ever wanted to know about Homer Simpson. It has a picture of Homer's brain, itemized pictures of Homer's work places and little known facts about Homer. It would make a great gift for those who love the Simpsons, and there are many other book like this one, such as the Lisa Book, the Moe Book, the Bart Book, etc.
